This review forms part <strong>of</strong> an HDC funded project led by Vegetable Consultancy Services Ltd<br />
with HDRA as a subcontractor. The practical work involves field trials at four sites in East<br />
Anglia (two conventional, one organic <strong>and</strong> one in conversion) to be conducted between 2006 <strong>and</strong><br />
2008. The field trials will investigate the performance <strong>of</strong> different fertility building crops <strong>and</strong><br />
their effects on subsequent cash crop yield, nitrogen dynamics <strong>and</strong> pest, disease <strong>and</strong> weed<br />
problems.<br />
