“…The higher biomass producing genotypes at later stages (40 to 60 DAS) will be more useful for green manure production and add more nutrients to the follow-up crops. Long-term green manure crop cultivation can improve the fertility of the soil, the productivity of the crops, and soil organic matter Chanda et al (2021).…”

“…It can grow in a wide range of soil conditions and it is one of the best sources of organic matter which improves the fertility of the nutrient deficit soil. Soil Organic Matter (SOM) enhances the aeration of the soil, and moisture retention capacity by releasing nutrients (Chanda et al, 2021). SOM has declined to 0.3 -0.4 per cent in the cultivable lands of India.…”

To improve the fertility of the soil, several green manure crops are being cultivated. Dhaincha, is an ideal green manure crop used for the improvement of soil fertility and it also reclaims problematic soils. To screen out the Dhaincha genotypes based on the seedling biomass, a pot culture experiment was carried out at the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Anbil Dharmalingam Agricultural College and Research Institute, Tiruchirappalli, with four different genotypes namely Vellore local, Villupuram local, Sivagangai local and Pant dhaincha. Root length, shoot length, fresh and dry weight of root & shoot, base diameter, and biomass per plant were recorded at ten day of intervals till sixty days after sowing. All the parameters showed significant variation and increased steadily every ten days after sowing. Sivagangai local recorded the highest growth parameters than the other genotypes. The highest biomass yield was observed in Villupuram local (0.029 g/plant) at 10 DAS, indicating that it produces more biomass during the early stages of growth. At 60 DAS, Vellore local recorded a high total biomass yield (2.3 g/plant), followed by Villupuram local (1.2 g/plant), Sivagangai local (1.08 g/ plant), and Pant dhaincha (0.9 g/ plant). Based on the growth parameters and High biomass yield per plant Sivagangai local and Vellore local can be selected for further crossing programmes.

“…As stated by Chanda et al [33], organic matter that is wholly decomposed has the available nutrients more quickly absorbed by plant roots. Leaf area is the main parameter because the rate of photosynthetic growth per unit plant is dominantly determined by leaf area [44].…”

“…As reported by Abayomi and Adebayo [32], compost can increase the height of spinach plants because compost contains mineral components that are beneficial for spinach. According to Chanda et al [33], wholly decomposed organic matter has its available nutrients more quickly absorbed by plant roots. Previous research by Chaudary et al [34] showed that the use of biological fertilizers can increase plant height.…”

VP3 biofertilizer is a biological agent that has been formulated in previous research. It was applied once with compost and has been tested on red spinach and green spinach in the greenhouse to see its effect on yield and quality (chlorophyll content, anthocyanins, and shelf life at room temperature). Red spinach and green spinach had shown a significantly different growth response to applying biological fertilizers. VP3 biofertilizer with compost had the highest yield effect but was not significantly different from the recommended Nitrogen Phosphate Potassium (NPK) and Effective Microorganism4(EM4) treatment with compost. The application of VP3 Biofertilizer with NPK fertilizer showed a darker color (higher chlorophyll and anthocyanin content) than the application of biological fertilizers, but the values were not significantly different. The application of VP3 biofertilizer with compost affected the shelf life of both red spinach and green spinach. Spinach plants remained fresh at room temperature for three days of storage, while the other treatments lost freshness on the 3rd day after harvesting and even loosened the leaf on the 4th day after harvesting. Therefore, VP3 biofertilizer has potential to increase the yield and quality of spinach and other vegetable crops. The addition of the application period of VP3 biofertilizer needs to be carried out and observed to increase the yield and quality of plants further. Canonical Variate Analyses (CVA) can distinguish the grouping of treatments based on the selected parameter. Biplot assessment provides information on the strong relationship between the yield of green spinach and red spinach and a number of leaves, leaf area, and plant height. The application of VP3 biofertilizer with compost had a significant effect on the yield and quality and produced different effects between treatments, both in the case of green spinach and red spinach.

“…Further, decomposed materials of Sesbania also serve as chelating compounds and help in increasing the availability of metallic micronutrients like Zn, Cu, Mn in succeeding crop [37]. Incorporation of dhaincha remarkably increased soil pH, organic carbon, N, P, K and S compared to initial soil nutrients status at the peak period of 50 days after incorporation and declined thereafter except in soil pH, K and S [94].…”

Green manuring with inclusion of legumes is the most feasible option to fix atmospheric nitrogen up to 80-100 kg of nitrogen in 45-60 days. They are easily decomposable improving soil organic carbon, nutrient availability, physicochemical and biological properties of soil, and crop productivity and hence can be used as a substrate in the form of dry powder in soilless culture. The scope of utilizing organic materials for crop production remains viable in recent years particularly in containerized crop production. Soilless culture as a crop production system could solve global issues such as the shortage of water, environmental pollution and instability of ecological system in various ways providing optimum environmental medium for crop growth in order to gain maximum yield and high quality products. Henceforth, less land area is required for agriculture production system resulting in increased land productivity. With this background, this review projects to maximize the utilization of the properties of green manures as an alternative grow-media substrate in the emerging soilless cultivation system.
