This chapter reviews ways of optimising use of ground cover in perennial cultivation for weed control. It reviews the multiple roles of ground cover in perennial systems and ways of selecting between different types of ground cover (non-selected or select spontaneous plants; sown grass, legume or cruciferous species; or use of pruning residues). The chapter then looks at overall techniques for combined weed and ground cover management.
