User Manual Intercropping Cereals
or
Detail description
This user manual provides guidance on intercropping cereals and legumes to boost ecosystem services within agricultural systems. Intercropping, the practice of growing different crops in proximity, enhances biodiversity, improves soil fertility, and supports pest management through natural processes. The manual outlines best practices for implementing intercropping in cereal and legume systems, with a focus on maximizing ecological and economic benefits. Developed by the EcoStack project, this resource promotes sustainable practices that align with EU goals for ecosystem resilience and reduced reliance on chemical inputs.
