Introduction to Green Manure:
Green manure refers to specific crops grown primarily to be incorporated back into the soil before reaching maturity. This eco-friendly and organic practice enhances soil fertility, improves structure and moisture retention, and provides natural nitrogen. Leguminous plants like clover, vetch, and alfalfa are commonly used for green manure due to their nitrogen-fixing ability.
Physical and Chemical Properties of Green Manure:
| Property | Value / Description |
|---|---|
| Material Type | Decomposable living plant biomass |
| Nitrogen Content | Varies by crop (up to 200 kg/ha) |
| Effect on Soil | Increases humus and microbial activity |
| Absorption | Released through natural decomposition |
| Special Feature | Improves texture, water holding, and reduces erosion |
Applications of Green Manure:
- Nitrogen Enrichment: Legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen via symbiotic root bacteria.
- Soil Texture Improvement: Enhances organic matter, porosity, and water retention.
- Weed Suppression: Covers soil surface and prevents weed emergence.
- Erosion Control: Protects soil from wind and rain prior to main planting seasons.
