“…Upon reaching the flowering stage, the green manure is cut and incorporated into the soil, thereby supplying nutrients for the primary crop. This cutting can occur either at the culmination of the green manure's growth cycle or after the development of the primary crop, ensuring nutrient availability for the subsequent planting [1,11].…”

“…In tropical regions, the enhancement of agricultural practices necessitates a shift away from consecutive monocultures towards embracing crop rotation and the integration of green manure, alongside intercropping [1]. Furthermore, safeguarding biomes as biological reserves, implementing animal-vegetable succession, and curbing the indiscriminate use of plows and harrows are imperative.…”

This review delves into the pivotal role of green manure in advancing agricultural sustainability and enhancing soil fertility. It emphasizes the wide-ranging ecological benefits of green manure practices, particularly in tropical regions, where it fosters multiple biological processes such as nitrogen fixation and nutrient cycling. The text provides an in-depth exploration of specific green manure species, their characteristics, practical considerations, and the physical, biological, and chemical effects they have on soil. It also discusses the practical implementation of green manure techniques, including cropping, intercropping, and strip or alley cultivation. The study emphasizes the critical need for species selection and effective green manure management, shedding light on their profound impact on crop productivity and environmental sustainability. With comprehensive details on various species and their practical implications, the study offers a comprehensive understanding of green manure's potential as an alternative source to mineral fertilizers in tropical agriculture.
