The final report of the OSCAR project has now been published.
The overall objective of the project OSCAR was to be of use for, and improve sustainability in low-
input, organic, and conventional farming systems. The research built on centrally planned multi-
environment and long-term experiments on living mulch and cover crop based reduced tillage systems and detailed research on system management optimization, technology improvement, soil ecological services, and dissemination.
