“…In addition, green manuring of cowpea following wheat resulted in significantly higher wheat yield by 19-20% compared to wheat-rice system [32]. Sugarcane yield can be improved with the incorporation of leguminous green manure crop, increase in stalk height, tiller number/plant, crop vigor and yield was observed after 6 and 12 months of planting [52]. Urea application at the rate of 20 kg N ha -1 after 50 days of planting along green manuring of dhaincha substituted urea at 40 kg N ha -1 [53].…”

Intensive cultivation, low and imbalance use of fertilizers, soils are continuously depleted and degraded. Green manuring (GM) is a well-known practice performed by the farming communities almost around the globe. Green manure crops are grown and ploughed as green foliage to improve soil characteristics. Leguminous crops have more importance as green manure over non-leguminous crops. Green manuring is one of the important possible options in achieving the ultimate goal of sustainable crop yield improvement. Various studies have highlighted the role of green manuring in improving soil organic matter, soil porosity, water holding capacity and soil C: N ratio. Fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) is improved by incorporation of green manure crops. It is helpful in sustainable agriculture systems by maximizing the crop yields and improving the livelihood of farming community. High yielding varieties are being introduced at a rapid pace to meet up the current challenges related to food security. Therefore, integrated use of green manuring and fertilizers is the best combination for achieving higher yield. Inclusion of green manure crops in the exiting cropping system has some constraints like availability of quality seed to farmers, performance variability in green manure crops, problems related to its establishment and incorporation as well. Moreover, costly tillage, seeding operations and labor need to be reduced for better adoption of green manure programme. The sole objective of this article was to review the advances in green manuring technology.

“…El frijol caupí Vigna unguiculata L., es bastante usado como AV en asocio con gramíneas de interés económico, gracias a su alta producción de biomasa, capacidad adaptativa el medio, rápido crecimiento y alta fijación de N 2 por simbiosis con rizobios del suelo (Gana & Busari, 2001; Obando, 2012; Sanclemente, 2013). En el cultivo de cañas orgánicas, el uso de frijol caupí viene tomando cada vez más auge entre los productores del departamento.…”

Con el objetivo de evaluar la contribución del abono verde (AV) Vigna unguiculata L., a la producción sostenible de caña de azúcar (CA) Saccharum officinarum L. Var. CC 85-92 en un Vertisol del Valle del Cauca (Colombia), se usó diseño experimental en bloques completos al azar y cinco repeticiones. Los tratamientos fueron: (C) Control- soca de CA, (AV1) siembra 1X1 AV- CA, (AV2) siembra 2X1 AV- CA, (AV1+R) siembra 1X1 AV inoculada con Rhizobium sp.- CA, y (AV2+R) siembra 2X1 AV inoculada con Rhizobium sp.- CA. Se evaluó el aporte de biomasa del AV, la biomasa de arvenses asociadas y la humedad del suelo, durante el mes dos. En maduración de CA (mes once) se evaluó la concentración de sólidos y sacarosa en tallos. En cosecha de CA (mes trece) se evaluaron las toneladas de caña por hectárea (TCH), el rendimiento y las toneladas de azúcar por hectárea (TAH), como efecto de los tratamientos. Se observó que el inóculo Rhizobium sp., no tuvo efectos aparentes, por baja especificidad simbiótica con el AV. El AV2, registró aporte significativo (p<0.05) de materia seca (14.5 t ha-1) incidiendo en reducción de arvenses y retención de humedad (161 m3 ha-1), frente al C. El AV1 registró productividad en TCH (131.5 t ha-1) y TAH (15.5 t ha-1), significativamente (p<0.05) altas con respecto a los demás tratamientos. Estos resultados muestran las bondades del uso de sistemas intercalados AV- caña de azúcar, sobre la economía y sustentabilidad del sector.
