Practice abstract "Winter field peas as green manure before nitrogen-demanding crops"

Authors: Martin Koller, Hansueli Dierauer, Tobias Gelencsér

Problem: On arable farms without livestock, nitrogen insufficiency can occur when cultivating nutrient-demanding crops like maize. This can lead to yield losses and weed infestation. 

Solution: Use a green manure of winter field peas before growing crops that have a high nitrogen demand in the rotation.
