Implementation and Use of Green Manures for Weed Suppression in Sequential Maize Cropping

International Journal of Agronomy, 2023
The ground cover produced by green manures has a direct influence on weed suppression and, in addition, the biomass produced by these same plants influences crop growth.

Different Green Manures (Vicia villosa and Brassica juncea) Construct Different Fungal Structures, Including Plant-Growth-Promoting Effects, after Incorporation into the Soil

Agronomy, 2022
The application of green manure to soil improves soil health by increasing biological activity. However, little attention has been paid to the effects of different green manures on the microbiological community and soil function after incorporation. Here,

Transfer characteristics of nitrogen fixed by leguminous green manure crops when intercropped with maize in northwestern China

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022
To ascertain the possibility of cultivating maize using biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) by leguminous green manure crops in maize/leguminous green manure intercropping systems, BNF and nitrogen (N) transfer were studied in Xining and Wuwei, two ...
