K. aGreen manuring in crop production.h[electronic resource] c2007 aThe positive role of green manuring in crop production has been known since ancient time. Importance of this soil ameliorating practice is increasing in recent years because of high cost of chemical fertilizers, increased risk of environmental pollution, and need of sustainable cropping systems. Green manuring can improve soil physical, chemical, and biological properties and consequently crop yields. Furthermore, potential benefits of green manuring are reduced nitrate (NO3-) leaching risk and lower fertilizer N requirements for succeeding crops. However, its influence may vary from soil to soil, crop to crop, environmental variables, type of green manure crop used, and its management. Beneficial effects of green manuring in crop production should not be evaluated in isolation; however, in integration with chemical fertilizers. The objective of this article is to review recent advances in green manuring practice, in the context of potential benefits and drawbacks in use of this practice for annual crop production and sustain soil health and fertility. acrop production arice aAdubação Verde aArroz aFertilidade aOryza Sativa aSistema de Cultivo aSolo tJournal of Plant Nutritiongv. 30, n. 5, p. 691-719, May 2007.
