  • Effect of leguminous green manure crops on white cabbage in organic vegetable production in southwestern Germany
    Vegetables require high amounts of nitrogen (N) and rather low amounts of phosphorus (P). Therefore, fertilization with farmyard manure often results in nutrient imbalances, commonly seen in P oversupply. Leguminous green manures increase the nutrient supply of the successive vegetable crop by the mineralization of residues and the exclusive N input into the soil by […]
