Summary
One of the activities of the Maheklaster NGO project "Innovation in organic plant production" was to study the use of multi-species green manure crops as pre-crops for organic vegetables. The effects of four different multi-species green manure crop mixtures on weed infestation, soil microbiology and the yield of carrots grown as a next crop to the green manure crop were investigated in on-farm trials. The results were compared to a green manure crop grown as a monoculture (crimson clover).
