Note on green manure crops:
- Green manure crops are some special type of plants which are grown with a purpose to turn them into the soil to increase its quality and fertility.
Example: legume plants.
- When this crop is turned into the soil it decomposes and gives necessary nutrients to the soil like nitrogen, which is very important to maintain the fertility of the soil.
- It also helps in the retention of water in the soil and decreases soil erosion.
- Green manures are the cover crops or the other plants which are left to decompose, reduce reliance on artificial fertilisers and also increase the soil organic matter.
