Abstract
A green manure is a crop that is grown and then incorporated into the soil while still green. This practice was widely used to improve soils and provide nutrients to crops before synthetic fertilizers became available. Washington potato producers are using green manures to produce better crops by improving the quality of their soils. They require a current understanding of soil ecology, soilborne pests, plant biochemistry, and breeding and screening techniques. And unlike synthetic fertilizers, they can improve the soil’s physical, chemical, and biological qualities.
