Use of alfalfa and red clover living mulches and green manures as alternative, biologically-based, means of fertilizing organic broccoli was studied. Both green manures increased broccoli head weight, hollow stem incidence, SPAD readings, total N content of the plants, and soil available N. These green manures can supply N to a broccoli crop in excess of the recommended dosage and produce satisfactory yields in organic production systems. Living mulches reduced broccoli yields (head weight and diameter), reduced N uptake (SPAD readings), even though they increased soil N availability (especially alfalfa). Living mulches appear to have the potential to supply N to broccoli, but cropping practices should be modified to limit competition. When...
