Description of Tested Tactic
Ploughing/chiseling + green manure yes/no + farmyard manure yes/no
To study the effects of reduced tillage, farmyard manure and green manure (cover crop) on crop yields, weed abundance and soil organic C stocks and N availability. To address these aims we set in 2011 a mid-term experiment that was monitored during a four-year rotation of spelt (Triticum spelta L., 2011–12), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L., spring 2013), winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2013–14) and lentil (Lens culinaris Medik., spring 2015)
