The Cherry Living Lab is focused on improving the weed management practices in organic and conventional mountain systems in the north of the Extremadura region. The main challenges faced by cherry growers are the proper management of the spontaneous cover in the interrows and the reduction of herbicide use in the tree line, taking into account that most farms have difficulties in mechanisation due to their small size and orography. In the Cherry LL, agroecological management alternatives are being proposed that combine the sow of permanent cover crops with mechanical weed control practices, mulching and herbicide applications reduced to 50%. The first experimental activities started last autumn by sowing the cover crops in both conventional and organic sites located in the Jerte Valley (Cáceres province). Four different species or mixtures were sowed: Trifolium subterraneum, Ornithopus sativus, grass mixture (Lolium spp, Dactylis spp, Festuca spp.) and a biodiverse mixture (legumes and grasses). Diversity, biomass and coverage parameters regarding the cover crops performance are being assessed. This Living Lab board is composed by 4 local organic and conventional farmers, 4 advisors, 4 local enterprises (most of them cooperatives), 3 researchers, 4 representatives from the Regional Government related to organic farming, CAP subsidies, Plant Health Service and Farmers Information Service and the GOOD local team. We discuss and together co-create the design and performance of the agroecological practices in order to find affordable and sustainable solutions adapted to the reality of small family cherry farms in mountain systems.
