Tyburski, Jozef (2006) Crop rotation - PL Ekoland Standards 2005. [Organic rules - Differences between other regulations/standards and EEC No 2092/91]
Full text not available from this repository.
Summary
To satisfy nitrogen needs of the farm at least a 20% share of legume crops (as a main crop) should be grown on arable land. Catch crops should be grown on at least 20% of arable land acreage. (3.2.4)
Difference
The EU Regulation 2092/91 demands the cultivation of legumes, green manures or deep-rooting plants in an appropriate multi-annual rotation programme, but does not specify minimal shares as the PL Ecoland standards do.
Justification
One of the basic methods of soil conservation is properly designed crop rotation system.
