Mr. You Tainghy, the deputy director of the provincial Department of Agriculture, forestry, and Fisheries in Tboung Khmum, has been actively promoting the implementation of cover crops in the region. His commitment to this technique stems from his knowledge of its benefits, including soil moisture retention, biomass generation, and the transformation of biomass into humus compost, which enhances soil fertility and crop production. In 2022, after Mr. You's promotion, three cassava farmers and two vegetable farmers became interested in cover crops and began implementing them. The results have been remarkable, with the technique showing promising outcomes.

Ten Tum, a farmer from Dambae District in Tboung Khmum Province, owns a 2-hectare cassava farm. Over the past2 years, he has been practicing the use of cover crops, specifically sun hemp, after receiving a recommendation from PDAFF (Tboung Khmum Provincial Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries). Ten Tum noticed that his farm had poor soil quality and decided to experiment with cover crops on his cassava field. To his delight, he observed that when the sun hemp was chopped and added to the field, it not only prevents soil erosion but also improved the soil conditions by turning its biomass to humus compost.
