Abstract


The application of green manure to paddy soils under water-logged conditions has been found to be beneficial for increasing the yield of the paddy crop (in most cases) and is almost an universal practice in this country. The incorporation of the manure is effected either by raising a crop and ploughing it in situ, or by applying the material brought from roadside trees and forest. areas. The former practice is generally adopted where sufficient water facilities are available. In places where this is not possible green leaves are collected from outside and added to the soil just prior to puddling or two or three weeks before transplanting the paddy seedlings.
