Description of Tested Tactic
Test of under apple tree row mulches, constituted of straw mulch or alleyway cut cover crops (from the area between the rows, not directly close to the experimental plots), on weeds, tree reponse and yield, soil. Alleway cover crops were made of legume-grass mixture, or oversown clover.
The aim of this study was to test the effects of both traditional and cover crop-derived mulches on apple production and soil-based ecosystem services.
Description of Reference System
Herbicide application twice a year (May/June, December/January) under the row. Alleyways are mown. The control is left untreated except for these two herbicide applications.
Control treatment without cover crop
