Summary

Green manuring is an important tool in organic vegetable growing by fixing nitrogen, recycling nutrients in the rotation, and maintaining soil fertility through adding organic matter. The aim of this project was to optimise the incorporation of different green manure mixtures and to optimise green manuring during winter after vegetable crops with a late harvest in autumn.
