Crop Stacking Performance Trial logo
Research project

Crop Stacking Performance Trial

Bioeconomy Science Institute

The project aims to validate growing systems that involve ‘stacking’ a cover crop with a cash crop in larger field trials. The project will investigate the effects on soil productivity, including reducing soil and nutrient loss. It will also examine commercial viability and develop management decision tools.
