cover crops and green manure

Cover crops and green manure refer to plants that are grown specifically to improve soil health, fertility, and protect against erosion. These crops are typically grown during fallow periods or between cash crops. They act as a natural mulch by suppressing weed growth, helping to retain moisture and organic matter in the soil, and adding nutrients when incorporated back into the soil. Overall, cover crops and green manure play a vital role in sustainable farming practices by enhancing soil quality and promoting a healthier ecosystem.
