Intensive agricultural production that involves use of heavy machinery, synthetic mineral fertilizers, as well as the cultivation crops in monoculture in conventional production systems accompanied by a lack of organic fertilizer, primarily animal manure, has led to serious damage to the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. In organic agriculture special emphasis was given to soil conservation, its fertility and biological activity. By introducing cover crops into the structure of sowing, significant benefits for the soil and the edaphic community in general can be realized. In order to understand the importance of intermediate crops in organic production, the following benefits are described in the paper: protection against aeolian and water erosion, adoption and prevention of nutrient leaching, repair of soil structure, reduction of its compaction and increase of organic matter content, nitrogen fixation and reduction of energy consumption, pedohygiene and biological diversity of agroecosystems.
