Description of Tested Tactic
The aim of this study was to investigate how the combination of several crop diversification practices affects plant-plant interactions and crop performance in cereal-based crop rotation sequences in a temperate climate. More specifically, we introduce grain and forage legumes as a sole crop or in mixture (intercropping) and undersown cover and forage crops to determine how increasing crop diversity in the cropping systems influences the use of N resources, weed suppression, and crop yields
