MimaBio Project Trials 2018–2019: Soil Fertility and Organic Gardening Techniques

The document summarizes agronomic trials conducted in 2018–2019 in Vaucluse and Bouches-du-Rhône, focusing on soil fertility, composting methods, mulching techniques, crop associations, and organic treatments. Key findings include faster organic matter decomposition on butte B with woody debris, no significant differences in organic matter degradation across crop rotations, and the tissu tissé mulch proving most efficient in labor and cost. The 2019 project aims to improve experimental rigor, test the Paperot transplanter for radishes, evaluate fermented chelidonium extract for lettuces (showing earlier maturity and 10% yield increase), and explore new crop combinations and organic treatments. All trials are part of the GO PEI project.
