Transfer mulch for soil health in organic greenhouses
Improving soil fertility and ecosystem resilience in organic greenhouses using transfer mulch
or
Detail description
Improves soil health and biodiversity in organic greenhouses using transfer mulch—recycled organic materials like composted plant residues enhance soil structure, nutrients, and microbial activity. Enhances water retention and reduces erosion when applied correctly. Addresses risks such as pathogen transfer and weed seed introduction with guidance on timing, application methods, and material selection. Part of the GreenResilient project, funded under Horizon Europe, advancing sustainable, climate-resilient organic horticulture in Europe.
