Row crop cultivation: Sowing cover crops in wider rows

Optimizing row spacing for cover crop establishment in organic systems

or

Detail description

Improve cover crop establishment in intercropping systems by adjusting row spacing and timing. The RowCrop system enhances sowing success, particularly for red clover, by reducing competition and enabling later sowing. Winter vetch fails due to early growth and poor regrowth. Controlled row cleaning supports weed management and crop compatibility. Based on Organic Farm Knowledge research.
