Green Manuring to a Better Soil Physical Condition

A Review of Green Manuring Practices in Sugarcane Production

The incorporation of ecological practices into sugarcane production and management has the potential to arrest and ameliorate the negative effects of monocropping on soil degradation and yield decline. Historically, the production of green manures as cover or break crops has been shown to improve the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil for many crops in production agriculture....

The effect of different green manure application in dry land condition on some soil physical properties

With the aim of the improvement water retention in dry land condition by green manure application, this study was carried out with or without rye green manure along with 4 nitrogen fertilization rate in green manure-wheat rotation system between 2001 – 2007 years. Results showed that the green manure application effects were significant on the soil aggregate stability, soil bulk density and ava...

Improving Soil Physical Indicators by Soil Amendment to a Saline-Sodic Soil

The application of organic amendments can be an appropriate solution to reclaim and improve physical propertiesof saline-sodic soils. In this research, an experiment was performed under greenhouse conditions to study the effect ofamendments to the physical properties of loamy saline-sodic soil. The five treatments were control (withoutamendment), municipal solid waste compost (MC), vermicompost...

Manuring and residue management effects on physical properties of a soil under the riceヨwheat system in Punjab, India

Sustainability of the rice–wheat rotation is important to Asia’s food security. Intensive cropping with no return of crop residues and other organic materials results in loss of soil organic matter and is not sustainable. We evaluated effect of eight treatments comprised of various combinations of green manure (GM), wheat straw (WS), rice straw (RS), farmyard manure (FYM) and urea alone (contro...
