Original language description

KABELKA, David, David KINCL, Jan VOPRAVIL, Karel KROFTA, Josef JEŽEK and Pavel DONNER. Water erosion in hop gardens and its reduction by cover crops. In: F. WEIHRAUCH, ed. Proceedings of the Scientific-Technical Commission 25–29 June 2023, Ljubljana, Slovenia. Wolnzach: Scientific-Technical Commission of the International Hop Growers' Convention, 2023, p. 137. ISSN 2512-3785. In the Czech Republic, water erosion is a serious problem in hop gardens on sloping land when traditional system of cultivation are used. The solution can be inter-row cover crops, which effectively reduce erosion processes. Results in this article were obtained using rainfall simulator. It was found that cover crops have a soil conservation effect already one month after sowing. When they are fully grown, they can reduce soil loss by up to 80% compared to conventional technology. Cover crops are also a source of organic matter that improves the physical and biological properties of the soil. If they are in good physiological condition, they suppress the growth of weeds. Flowering species attract a wide range of insects, enriching the biodiverstiy in hop gardens.
