The inclusion of grain and green manure (GM) or forage legumes in cereal production systems on the Prairies does improve the fertility and quality of soils (Wright 1990; Campbell et al. 1992; Green and Biederbeck 1995; Biederbeck et al. 1998). Legume-based cropping systems can also reduce nitrogen losses and greatly increase the proportion of crop residuecarbon that is sequestered in stable soi...
