Aluminum detoxification with green manures

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 1989
Abstract A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate “liming”; potential of different green manures. Ground leafy materials of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) and guinea grass (Panicum maximum) were added at 0, 5, 10 and 20 g/kg to an Ultisol having a soil‐water pH 4.0, KCl‐extractable Al = 7.6 cmoLc/kg, Al saturation

Cover/Green Manure Cropping

2017
The cover/green manure crops can be considered as the backbone for any annual cropping system to be sustainable. They are responsible for sustainable farming because of enhancement of organic matter, improvement of soil structure, nitrogen fixation, nutrient enhancement, rooting action, soil and water conservation, soil microbial activity, and pest ...

Green manures in potato rotations

American Potato Journal, 1934
From the evidence at hand it seems to be a practical procedure to use non-legumes as green manures for potatoes. Non-egumes can be grown on soils at a pH of 5.5 or lower more successfully than legumes. A rotation can be arranged which, according to our present knowledge will escape danger of wire worms and grubs.

Green Manuring in Crop Production

Journal of Plant Nutrition, 2007
ABSTRACT The positive role of green manuring in crop production has been known since ancient time. Importance of this soil ameliorating practice is increasing in recent years because of high cost of chemical fertilizers, increased risk of environmental pollution, and need of sustainable cropping systems.
