Cover Crop Study – September 2018

Cover Crop Study – September 2018

ChaMP for Water (Brighton Chalk Management Partnership) has been trialling the use of cover crops over winter 2017-2018 in the Brighton area.

Instead of leaving fields bare, crops are planted which take up excess nitrates remaining in the soil after the previous crop, reducing losses to the aquifer.
