Intercropping vegetables with cover crops


The aim is to investigate the manifold effects of intercropping cover crops with vegetables to increase the sustainability of open-field vegetable production



The student will either be working on a green house pot trail or out in the fields on the effect of intercropping cover crops with vegetables in open field production. 

The effects of cover crops undersown in vegetables are manifold and depending on the interest of the student different effects can be investigated. 

The thesis will be in the framework of different ongoing projects (Ground2Live, CloseFerVeg).
