agroforestry

Soil cover reduces the occurrence and time for manual control of spontaneous plants in intercropped crops

Research shows that the use of soil cover reduces the number of spontaneous plants in mixed vegetable beds, both in agroforests and in full sun, probably because it constitutes a physical barrier that stops the emergence of these plants.
