ABSTRACT

The recent advancement of agricultural technologies has undoubtedly increased the agricultural production and productivity across the world. However, excess use of synthetic fertilizers and other agro-chemical have led to degradation of soil fertility and stagnation of crop productivity due to lower soil organic matter content and poor microbial diversity. Therefore, maintenance of soil health and sustainability of agriculture production have become the crucial concern for agriculture research. Because of their versatile impacts on soil physico-chemical and biological properties, green manures can play a crucial role in maintaining soil fertility. Use of green manures along with other crop residues and organic manures have now become the necessary for holistic agricultural production system and sustaining soil health in modern agriculture.
