| Teaser: | Benefits, practical recommendations and a simplified cost/benefit analysis. |
| What problem does the tool address?: | Citrus cultivation takes place in areas where water can be a scarce resource, especially given the current climate change situation. Therefore, good management of this resource is essential. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | One practice that allows water saving is the use of mulching, in this case, rice straw from the Albufera Natural Park in Valencia (Spain). However, it is possible to use straw from any crop, prioritising those that do not have a circular use in the area of application. |
