Is undersowing cereal crops with clover the next big thing? >More in © MAG/Emma Gillbard Growing a permanent clover understory beneath cash crops known as a “living mulch” could provide an effective way to control weeds, fix nitrogen and boost farm productivity. In a field lab trial last spring, six farmers from across England attempted to grow a living mulch cover, which they believe will help build soil fertility, sequester carbon and cut costs. Using a seed mix comprising 70% small-leaf and 30% medium-leaf white clover, the group of conventional and organic growers hope to find out if growing the mulch can be achieved without significantly affecting crop yields.
