Abstract


The beneficial effects of the application of green leaves to paddy are well known. This system of enriching the soil and making it more productive is economical and efficacious. The usual method of green manuring is either by collecting the material from perennial trees For by growing a crop in situ. Quick growing herbaceous plants with succulent leaves and soft stems are generally selected for the latter method. Notwithstanding the abundance of vegetation on the West Coast, the availability of green leaves in adequate quantities has been a problem in the coastal belt where the major paddy area is located.
