1. An investigation of pea and cereal varieties for organic intercropping in Sweden
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Sammanfattning : Organic farming, intercropping and the conservation of landraces are agroecological methods of transitioning to a more sustainable and resilient agricultural system, however there is a lack of data on varieties suitable for organic intercropping. Therefore, two spatially parallel field trials were conducted with 11 pea varieties intercropped with oat, and 38 varieties of cereals (wheat, oat, and barley), in sole crops. LÄS MER
2. Effective soil organic carbon monitoring in perennial agriculture systems - Sampling protocol development and evaluation
