Abstract

It should be noted that we have left the livestock component out here because it has been dealt with in Sect. III.3.1.(e) and Chap. III.6.(A). Since we have handled quite some general aspects of this new subject in other sections, we deal here with a case study on the importance of a correct management of interrows of orchards and vineyards, such as with cover crops to prevent soil erosion and to improve the soil by adding organic matter. The relevance of positive and negative effects of cover crops is obviously determined by the crops adopted (species and varieties) but can be strongly modulated by the choices of sowing methods (type and time) and management practices.
