Description of Tested Tactic
A two-year field experiment was carried out at the MOVE (MOnsampolo VEgetables) organic long-term experiment, Monsampolo del Tronto – Central Italy – growing transplanted zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) to compare the effect of different tillage strategies and cover crop management (no cover crop; green manured barley; in-line till/roller crimped barley) on zucchini yield, zucchini yield quality, weed control and N dynamic in the soil–plant system.
