30Decision Tree7. Decision TreeIntroductionThe decision tree presented in this section is relatively simple to use. Start with #1 onthe diagram and answer the questions in each box to help identify the most appropriategm/cc system for a given location.Note that there are two types of numbering system used in the decision tree. Thefirst numbering system simply numbers each box in the decision tree. Additionalinformation on each of these boxes is provided in the section immediately followingthe decision tree named “Decision Tree Guide.”The second numbering system in the decision tree identifies each of the recommendedgm/cc systems one arrives at after working through the decision tree. Each numberin this second numbering system begins with an “S.” Immediately following the“Decision Tree Guide” is the section with detailed explanations about the 91recommended gm/cc systems, titled “Green Manure/Cover Cropping Systems.”The most important characteristics of each of the more important gm/cc speciesin each system will be included when that species is first mentioned in the decisiontree. A list of where each species description appears is provided in Annex 3: List ofRecommended Green Manure/Cover Crop Species.
