definition: Green manure is a cover crop sown on an agricultural plot in order to fertilize the soil for the following crop mainly through the intake of nitrogen. This cover crop is sown between two sales crops (usually between two highly demanding nitrogen crops) or in combination with the previous crop. Green manure provides improvement in soil structure with their root system and a relatively little supply of stable organic matter. Stable organic matter as well as nitrogen intake for the following crop are obtained after degradation of the plant by the soil’s microorganisms (microbial or enzymatic activity)… [Dictionary of agroecology : https://dicoagroecologie.fr/en/encyclopedia/green-manure/] @en
