8 April 2016: Crop Rotation and Intercropping
8 April 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
St George/Sutherland Permaculture Group will have a presentation on Crop Rotation and Intercropping presented by Nada Malkoc at their monthly meeting on Friday 8 April 2016 commencing at 7 pm. Attending this presentation is one of the benefits of your membership. Visitors are welcome with a $10 entry fee.
Crop rotation is used to control pests and diseases that can become established in the soil over time. The changing of crops in a sequence tends to decrease the population level of pests. Plants within the same taxonomic family tend to have similar pests and pathogens.
Intercropping is a multiple cropping practice involving growing two or more crops in proximity. The most common goal of intercropping is to produce a greater yield on a given piece of land by making use of resources that would otherwise not be utilized by a single crop.
