Green Manure

Green manure refers to specific plants, such as legumes or fast-growing cover crops, that are grown primarily to improve soil health. When these plants are cultivated and then incorporated into the soil through tilling or mulching, they add organic matter, enhance soil fertility, and increase nutrient levels—especially nitrogen. Green manure helps reduce soil erosion, suppress weeds, and promote beneficial microbial activity, creating a more sustainable and productive environment for future crops. It is an eco-friendly farming practice that naturally enriches the soil without the need for chemical fertilizers.
