Summary in the original language of the document

When the method is successful no chemical weed control is needed. Crop diversity increases due to the partner crop in between the maize rows. If the chosen partner crops flowers, it will also attract extra biodiversity.


Summary translation

Wanneer de methode succesvol is, is er geen chemische onkruidbestrijding nodig. De gewasdiversiteit neemt toe door het partnergewas tussen de maisrijen. Als het gekozen partnergewas bloeit, zal het ook extra biodiversiteit aantrekken.

EPrint Type:Practice tool
Teaser:Get practical recommendations about how diversification of maize crops can supress weeds.
What problem does the tool address?:It is very common to use chemical herbicides to control weeds in maize. Considering the negative environmental impact of this practice and the societal pressure to reduce herbicide use, finding alternative solutions is desirable.
What solution does the tool offer?:The diversification of the maize crop is a possible solution: sowing the maize in a (winter) partner crop, mowing the partner crop, and using the mulch for soil cover and weed suppression.
