Summary

Adopting conservation agriculture practices in organic agriculture involves some risks and challenges. Nitrogen availability from a grass-clover ley for the subsequent leek crop was clearly affected by mode and timing of destruction of the grass-clover sward. Minor differences were found between a reduced tillage practice and conventional ploughing.
