Cover Crop Introduction in a Mediterranean Maize Cropping System. Effects on Soil Variables and Yield

Cover crops (CCs) are able to affect subsequent crop behaviour by acting on many soil variables and affecting the dynamics of different ecological processes. This study aimed to investigate the effects of introducing CC in continuous-maize cropping systems within Mediterranean areas. The experimenta...
