Legume green manure partial replacement of fertilizers enhances soil microbial diversity and sustains wheat yield
Selecting the appropriate leguminous green manure is crucial. Non-climbing varieties are generally preferred. We believe that intercropping crimson clover in wheat fields can not only maintain the yield of the main crop, reduce agricultural production costs, but also improve the micro-ecological environment of the farmland, providing a novel solution for breaking through traditional wheat farming models.
