D 2.4. Farmer guidelines for intercropping systems in organic farming

Summary

SCOOP aimed to develop intercropping systems including camelina and underutilized crops for organic farming in four different countries, i.e., Italy, Bulgaria, Poland and Turkey. Each country was characterized by different environmental conditions and so specific intercropping systems have been locally identified as the most promising to be taken up by local organic farmers. Technical guidelines reporting the main characteristics of the crops, as well all the agricultural tips for a successful establishment of the systems have been set up. In the present deliverable each of the national guideline is reported in English and also in local language of the country to better spread the gained knowledge within the farmers’ community. In particular, for Italy camelina and pea, camelina and chickpea, and camelina and lentil intercroppings have been selected as the most promising, in Turkey camelina and fenugreek; in Poland camelina and spelt, camelina and lentil and camelina and pea; and in Bulgaria camelina and pea, and camelina and vetch.
