Green manure production systems for Asian ricelands: selected papers from the International Rice Research Conference. Los Banos, Laguna (Philippines). IRRI. 1994. p. 83-97. Received Apr 1995. (UPLB Acc. no. 119007)Summary: Green manure (GM) is an important component of low-input sustainable agriculture; however, its use has declined even in areas where it was traditionally practiced. Large-scale adoption of GM is limited by several agronomic constraints: shortage of good quality seed, problems of crop establishment, difficulties of incorporating biomass into the soil, and lack of cost-effective technology. This paper reviews the research efforts to overcome these constraints and highlights future research and development needs
