2018
Petersen, Maja Eline | Bertelsen, Inger
The RowCrop system is a way of solving the contradiction between establishing cover crops together with the main crop and the ability to control weeds. Increased row spacing provides better establishment opportunities for cover crops with later sowing than normal row spacing. Sowing time and species selection Increased row spacing is inextricably linked to row cleaning, as the competitiveness of the crop is reduced. The balance between weed incidence, the competitiveness of the main crop and good conditions for establishing the catch crop is determines the number of row cleanings. Red clover has shown the most stable results across establishment times. Winter vetch has proven unsuitable in the RowCrop system, as the early establishment has resulted in harvest difficulties and no regrowth of regrowth after harvest.
