Fiorini Giuseppe Farm

This is a field experimental site with an already established rotation and cover crop component. Soil-health management is based on organic fertilisation, incorporation of residues, and the maintenance of a three-year rotation supported by cover crops. The crops under observation are maize (mainly feed but also food), sunflower (food/oilseed) and soybean (food/feed protein crop).
