Abstract

+G reen manuring, the practice of incorporating undecomposed plant material into the soil, is increasingly recognized for enhancing soil fertility and promoting agricultural sustainability. /, in particular, play a vital role by biologically fixing atmospheric nitrogen. This process reduces the need for external inputs and enriches the soil with organic matter. Green manuring is environmentally friendly and complements integrated nutrient delivery systems, contributing to improved soil structure, aeration, and biodiversity while controlling weeds and pests.
