Green manuring is a cost effective and efficient way of increasing the fertility of your soil. It involves the practice of growing, cutting and ploughing green crops into the soil.
⭐ It can supplement farmyard and other organic manures and is more cost effective.
⭐ Nitrogen and organic matter in the soil increase and thus improve crop productivity.
⭐ They also improve soil aeration and drainage conditions.
⭐ Both leguminous and non-leguminous plants are grown for making green manure.
⭐ Green manure crops are grown in the field for about 6-8 weeks and ploughed into the soil before or early flowering stage. The plants are allowed to remain buried for about 1-2 months. During this period, the plant gets totally decomposed.
