Direct sowing under plant cover

Comments on sustainability

Direct sowing makes it possible not to disturb the soil and to intervene quickly. Furthermore, the technique of planting a crop directly in a plant cover without first having to work the soil can make it possible to ensure the emergence of the planted crop before the soil undergoes drying out.
