Cover crop
The glossary of statistical terms, published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), defines a cover crop as: ‘…a temporary vegetative cover that is grown to provide protection for the soil and the establishment of plants, particularly those which are slow growing. Some cover crops are introduced by undersowing and in due course provide permanent vegetative cover to stabilise the area concerned. The term can include an intermediate crop that can be removed by the use of selective herbicides.’
