The agricultural scientists and the soil specialists are driving home the point to the farming community to go in for the balanced use of chemical fertilizers along with the green manures. But it is pertinent to adhere to their advice as the production level is drastically coming down in many pockets of the world due to the indiscriminate use of the inorganic manure.
The traditional leguminous green manures grown in the field and ploughed in situ helps the crops to fix the nitrogen from the atmosphere and enrich the soil wealth.
