peer agreement (net): +1| cobertura noble cover crops Explanation: Asker hasn't posted an extract from the ST, but the term cobertura noble refers, in general terms, to the deliberate use of 'weeds' in ways that favour the yield or quality of a main crop. 'noble in the sense of 'altruistic', perhaps? https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/cover_crops_part_1_valuable_cu... "Cover crops are crops grown between harvest and planting of commodity or feed crops, usually not for harvest, but used instead for the production of biomass and the various agroecological benefits this additional biomass can provide. While cover crops are most often thought of as a means of preventing erosion and improving soil health, they can also be applied as an effective weed management tool. The ability of cover crops to suppress weeds is especially valuable in organic production systems where restriction of synthetic herbicide use leaves growers without any simple weed control solutions. Organic weed management can be so challenging, in fact, that organic farmers frequently cite weeds as the greatest barrier to organic production." |

| Reference Reference information: De acuerdo con datos de Cenicafé, en Colombia se pueden encontrar alrededor de 230 variedades de arvenses, el 25 % son consideradas nobles, es decir, beneficiosas para el cultivo. Si bien antes se le daba un tratamiento de maleza y era eliminado en su mayoría por insumos químicos, en la actualidad las investigaciones han hecho que esa presencia vegetal en los cultivos sea integrada y aprovechada como parte del ecosistema del arbusto. Se les conoce como arvenses nobles a esa capa vegetal que no compite con el arbusto del café y que, por el contrario, puede integrar y dinamizar un ecosistema provechoso para el cultivo. https://perfectdailygrind.com/es/2023/07/12/uso-bioherbicida... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2024-04-15 17:10:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In addition to intercropping, other techniques include planting cover and buffer crops, which provide shade cover and protection from wind, frost, and heat. https://perfectdailygrind.com/2024/04/coffee-producers-crop-... |
