Management of Cover Crop Intercropping for Live Mulch on Plant Productivity and Growth Resources: A Review

Cover crops are a valuable tool for improving resources use, soil health, and productivity. However, the effects of intercropping cover as live mulches with cash can vary depending on species, management practices, environmental conditions. This study reviewed literature crop identified key factors to consider improved plant productivity use when managing these cropping systems. Science Direct, Scopus, Google Scholar were used search mulches. Research has shown that annual typically in field systems, while perennial orchards vineyards. The or vineyards, orchards, systems from positive negative, climate, soil, management, production system. Therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all strategy. some should be considered crops, such as: compatibility, time, planting density, termination time. benefits appropriate include: extended growing season, increased fertility, resource optimization, biomass successful way improve health productivity, but it important carefully specific practices ensure success. future research optimize time density maize-based rainwater harvesting use.
