The suitability of non-legume cover crops for inorganic soil nitrogen immobilisation in the transition period to an organic no-till system

The aim of the study was to evaluate non-legume cover crops for growing no-till grain legumes in organic farming systems. Evaluated cover crops should be able to suppress weed growth, reduce plant available nitrogen in the soil and produce large amounts of biomass with slow N mineralisation. Six non...
