Agroecological service crops managed with roller crimper reduce weed density and weed species richness in organic vegetable systems across Europe [PDF]
Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2019 AbstractAgroecological service crops are introduced into the vegetable crop rotation to provide agroecosystem services, and are a key strategy for weed management in organic systems. Organic farmers across Europe usually terminate these crops before cultivation of the subsequent cash crop, using them as green manure.
