EcoStack
Stacking of ecosystem services: mechanisms and interactions for optimal crop protection, pollination enhancement, and productivity
About project
EcoStack will provide European farmers with the knowledge and tools needed to maximise ecosystem services for the production of crops, while minimising environmental impacts of agriculture and ensuring the profitability of farming. The objectives will be achieved by stacking...

- 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.
User Manual Crop cultivar mixtures to enhance insect biocontrol
Slideshow/Presentation

- Francesco Pennacchio
- This user manual explains how to use crop cultivar mixtures to improve insect biocontrol in agricultural settings. Cultivar mixtures involve growing different varieties of the same crop together
- which can naturally reduce pest populations and enhance crop resilience. The manual provides practical guidelines for implementing this approach
- highlighting its role in integrated pest management and its benefits for biodiversity. As part of the EcoStack project
- this manual supports sustainable farming practices that minimize the need for synthetic pesticides
- aligning with EU environmental and agricultural goals.
