Green manuring is the practice of growing and incorporating plant material into the soil to improve its fertility and physical properties.

Green manuring can increase soil organic matter, improve soil structure, and reduce soil erosion, but it does not increase soil salinity.

Legumes are the most common type of green manure crop because they can fix nitrogen from the atmosphere, which helps to improve soil fertility.

Green manure crops should be planted in the fall so that they can grow and accumulate biomass over the winter.

Green manure crops should be plowed under to incorporate them into the soil and release their nutrients.

Green manure crops typically decompose within a few months, depending on the type of crop and the soil conditions.

Green manuring can help to reduce soil erosion by increasing soil organic matter and improving soil structure.

Green manuring can help to increase soil fertility by adding organic matter, nitrogen, and other nutrients to the soil.

Green manuring can help to increase crop yields by improving soil fertility, reducing soil erosion, and suppressing weeds.

Green manure crops can compete with cash crops for water and nutrients, they can harbor pests and diseases, and they can be difficult to manage.

Selecting a green manure crop that is compatible with your cash crop, planting the green manure crop at the right time, and incorporating the green manure crop into the soil at the right time are all important management practices for green manuring.

Legumes, grasses, and crucifers are all common green manure crops.

Green manure crops can help to improve soil fertility, reduce soil erosion, and suppress weeds.

Green manure crops can compete with cash crops for water and nutrients, they can harbor pests and diseases, and they can be difficult to manage.
