Summary
This GreenResilient Practice Abstract provides practical recommendations for mulch transfer in organic greenhouse crops. Mulching helps to maintain humus levels and soil structure, enhancing biodiversity and biological activity in the soil. The mulch layer reduces thermal radiation and evaporation, providing homogeneous soil humidity, lowering irrigation needs, preventing salinisation problems and buffering temperature extremes.
