The National Seeds Corporation (NSC) has introduced two mixed green manure kits to promote mixed green manure cropping.
This practice involves the cultivation of multiple green manure crop species with complementary characteristics together and incorporated back into soil to enrich the soil.
Certain species release natural compounds that inhibit weed germination, while others grow densely enough to physically suppress weed growth.
Green Manure refers to crops specifically grown to be incorporated back into the soil rather than harvested.
These crops decompose in the field, enriching the soil with organic matter and essential nutrients.
