Monitoring crop pests in intercropped fields
What effect does intercropping have on pests and diseases? We are conducting thorough analyses to find out.
What does sustainable agriculture research look like?
Across Europe, our scientists are digging deep into the soil to explore the potential of intercropping for fostering a more sustainable agriculture. Learn more about the samples they are taking and what they are trying to find out.
Digging deep: Sampling European soils to explore the benefits of intercropping
What are the benefits of intercropping for the soil and the rhizosphere (the area surrounding the plant roots)? To answer this question, we embarked on a soil and plant root … Read more
