In a two-year experiment, agroecological service crops (ASCs) introduction before organic zucchini and lettuce vs no-ASCs (CT), and two ASCs termination strategies (green manure, GM vs roller crimper, NT) were compared. The objective was to assess the environmental sustainability in a Mediterranean environment. Agronomic performance, energy analysis and carbon footprint were assessed. Although lower zucchini and lettuce yields than GM, the NT strategy was more sustainable than GM and CT, showing energy efficiencyof 0.64, 0.31 and 0.13%, respectively, and showing the highest carbon stored in the soil. NT can reach a good compromise between crop production and impact of agricultural activities.

有机园艺中农业生态实践的可持续性:产量,能源利用和碳足迹
在一项为期两年的实验中,比较了有机西葫芦和生菜与非ASC(CT)之前的农业生态服务作物(ASC)的引入,以及两种ASC的终止策略(绿肥,GM与辊式压接机,NT)。目的是评估地中海环境中的环境可持续性。评估了农艺性能,能量分析和碳足迹。尽管西葫芦和生菜的产量低于GM,但NT战略比GM和CT更具可持续性,其能量效率分别为0.64%,0.31%和0.13%,并显示出土壤中最高的碳储量。新界可以在作物产量和农业活动影响之间取得很好的折衷。
