The 15 pages that link to Green manure, each with the reason it gives.

• Crop rotationRelated: A rotation may include a green manure crop to build soil and supply nutrients.

• Nitrogen fixationRelated: Leguminous green manures transfer biologically fixed nitrogen into soil.

• Cover cropRelated: Some cover crops are terminated and incorporated to improve soil fertility.

• RhizobiumRelated: Legume green manures use Rhizobium-mediated fixation to contribute nitrogen to soil.

• ManureCompared with: Green manure comes from plant biomass rather than animal excrement.

• AzollaRelated: Azolla can be incorporated into fields to release nutrients as it breaks down.

• CloverRelated: Clover may be tilled into soil after growth as a nitrogen-rich green manure.

• Pigeon peaRelated: Pigeon pea residues can be returned to fields to improve soil fertility.

• Mustard plantRelated: Mustard biomass can be turned into the soil before the next crop is planted.

• VignaRelated: Vigna cover crops can add biomass and biologically fixed nitrogen to fields.

• BorageRelated: Borage can be grown as a cover crop and returned to the soil.

• History of fertilizerRelated: Cover crops replenished fields before synthetic fertilizers were available.

• History of organic farmingRelated: Green manures helped replace some functions of manufactured fertilizers.

• LupinusRelated: Lupins can enrich soils through biomass production and symbiotic nitrogen fixation.

• Vigna mungoRelated: Black gram residues can contribute biomass and nutrients when returned to fields.
