Inter-row grass cover

Comments on sustainability

Grassing of the inter row, whether temporary or permanent, will allow an increase in soil fertility and strengthen the soil's capacity to withstand episodes of drought, while providing protection against heavy rains synonymous with erosion and loss of fertility.
