Growing cover crops in organic arable rotations: Danish best practices

Cover crops improve soil quality, reduce erosion and nutrient leaching in organic arable farming. This guide offers practical advice for Danish farmers and advisors on selecting species, timing, and placement in crop rotations. Emphasis is placed on growing cover crops in the first and second year after ploughing clover-grass fields to prevent nitrogen loss. Recommendations include species choice based on soil type, nitrogen levels, and seeding rates. The factsheet supports successful implementation through clear examples and links to additional resources in the OrgPrints repository.
