Sažetak
Modern agricultural production is showing growing interest in the use of cover crops, mainly short-season annual crops grown either as winter pre-crops for main summer crops or summer post-harvest crops. Cover crops are usually grasses and legumes, regarding its purpose. Planting cover crop needs to be fast, in order to provide as much time as possible for the vegetation, together with preservation of soil resources. Advantages of cover crop can be achieved by savings through reduced fertilizers and pesticide applications can influence substantially lower costs for subsequent cash crop, whereas long-term savings through better soil quality, reduced soil erosion, increased organic matter content, improved soil physical properties, reduced nitrate leaching and enhanced nutrient cycling are still poorly observed as the real benefit for growers.
