Cover-cropping improves soil structure as well, since it contributes to preventing erosion.<\/p>\n<p>Guido Berlucchi\u2019s agronomists use various mixtures of seeds for cover-cropping, paying close attention to soil types. White <strong>mustard <\/strong>is one of the preferred plants, since it has a hardy, deep-penetrating root that breaks through compact soil and improves its structure. One of its additional beneficial properties is that it combats nematodes, a type of worm harmful in the vineyard, thanks to the high sulphur content in its tissues.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise much employed are <strong>vetch<\/strong> and <strong>favas<\/strong>, two legumes useful for absorbing nitrogen and fixing it in the soil, thanks to rhizobacteria present on their roots. Another useful, and quite lovely plant is <strong>phacelia<\/strong>, or desert bluebells; a rapid-growing borage, its blue flower attracts many bees and useful insects, while its roots strenthen the soil.<\/p>\n<p><i>Photo credits:\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andreazampatti.it\/\"><i>Andrea Zampatti<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cover-cropping is an ancient
