EPrint Type: Practice tool
Teaser: Most important objectives of catch crop cultivation and valuable tips on suitable species and mixtures.
What problem does the tool address?: Catch crops, i.e. the cultivation of a crop between two main crops, plays a key role in crop rotations.
What solution does the tool offer?: Catch crops contribute to a longer soil cover and thus to a better soil structure and nourishment of soil life. They also offer good protection against erosion, which plays an important role in increasing extreme weather events. The cultivation of catch crops is in line with the principle of organic farming to establish the most sustainable cultivation systems possible, which, among other things, ensure good natural soil fertility.
