Fertility Building Management Measures in Organic Cropping Systems - FertilCrop
The project "Fertility Building Management Measures in Organic Cropping Systems"- FertilCrop addressed sustainable crop management techniques that make efficient use of the interface to other plants, to the structured and stratified soil matrix, to beneficial microorganisms, and to the carbon and nitrogen cycle. The project was funded in the framework of the CORE Organic Plus project. More ...
FertilCrop built upon the work of the project Reduced tillage and green manures for sustainable organic cropping systems – TILMAN-ORG, which aimed to design improved organic cropping systems with: enhanced productivity and nutrient use efficiency, more efficient weed management and increased biodiversity, but lower carbon footprints. The project ran from 2011 to 2014. More ...
