Suppression of weed and insect populations by living cover crop mulches in organic squash production
Living mulch systems can provide multiple agronomic and ecosystem benefits, including reducing erosion and decreasing weed and pest pressure. However, inconsistent yields and lack of best practices for weed and pest management have contributed to their lack of adoption by farmers. In 2018 and 2019,...
