Evaluation of Mixed Cropping of Oat and Hairy Vetch as Green Manure for Succeeding Corn Production
Plant Production Science, 2013 Legume-grass mixed cropping may alleviate N starvation when incorporated as grass green manure which has a higher C/N ratio than legume manure. We focused on N and P absorption of oat in mixed cropping with hairy vetch, and investigated the effect of the

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

The Economics of Manure Utilization: Model and Application
A model of manure utilization is developed and applied to four types of transportable manure. Model results highlight important response differences among manure types and generally illustrate the diseconomies of manure production. For example, as manure

Impact of green manure on soil organisms [PDF]
, 2007 Green manure is used as a nitrogen and carbon source in crop production, especially in organic cropping systems without access to farmyard manure. Decomposition and release of nutrients from the green manure is mediated by soil organisms.

Managing Crop Residue with Green Manure, Urea, and Tillage in a Rice–Wheat Rotation
, 2001 Most double-crop grain farmers in South Asia remove or burn cropresidue to facilitate seedbed preparation and to avoid possible yield reductions. This results in loss of soil organic matter (SOM) and nutrients.
