🌱 GREEN MANURES — Feed the Soil, Not Just the Crop!

 🌱 GREEN MANURES — Feed the Soil, Not Just the Crop!

Green manuring is a simple but powerful practice where fast-growing crops are incorporated into the soil while still green to improve soil fertility, organic matter, structure and nutrient cycling.

✅ Adds organic matter

✅ Legumes help fix atmospheric nitrogen

✅ Improves soil structure & water infiltration

✅ Reduces erosion and nutrient loss

✅ Suppresses weeds

✅ Supports long-term soil health

📌 Exam Tip: Green manure crops are generally incorporated before flowering, while the plants are still succulent and decompose quickly.

🌿 Important examples: Sunnhemp, Dhaincha, Sesbania, Cowpea, Green gram and Azolla.
