Nitrogen effects of cut green manures in relation to application method and soil condition
Grass-clover mixes (fresh or ensiled) can be applied as a cut green manure in field and greenhouse crops. ILVO, Inagro, PCG and UGent evaluated whether the depth at which the cut green manure is intro...

Permanent clover fields, innovative sowing methods, strip cropping: ILVO shares latest insights into agroecological agriculture during Demo Day in Hansbeke.
In the coming years, we will investigate whether this method produces higher yields of grain compared to the traditional rotation of three years of grass-clover followed by two years of grain.
