TL;DR: A literature review of the main start-up, monitoring and maturity parameters are discussed in this article concerning different raw materials used and different composting methods practiced, and the wide variety of chemical and biological variations that occur during composting has made it difficult to agree on methods for the practical assessment of maturity.

TL;DR: The physiological effects of progressive drought and subsequent recovery in three cultivars adapted to a Mediterranean climate and another representative from an oceanic climate were determined, supporting the view that WUE p is a more integrative parameter than WUE ph.

TL;DR: The tall pea, featuring greatest competitive ability against cereals, maximised the yield and legume content of legume-cereal crops and exhibited lower weed content than the average of the components’ pure stands.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview and evaluation of wheat-subclover intercropping under different agro-environmental conditions, where coordinated field experiments were conducted over a two-year period in six sites located in four agroenvironmental zones [Atlantic North (Neu-Eichenberg, Germany), Continental (Freising, Germany) and Mediterranean North (Viterbo, Italy), Mediterranean South (Sidi Alla Tazi and Sidi El Aidi, Morocco)].

TL;DR: The authors assessed the forage yield of legume-cereal mixed crops including common vetch, Narbon vetch or pea grown together with oat or triticale, and their respective pure stands; verified the effect of mixture complexity; and assessed differences between a semi-dwarf and a tall pea type in pure stand and in mixtures.
