FARM MANURES CONCLUDED I g I 



NON-LEGUMINOUS GREEN MANURE PLANTS 



Among the non-leguminous green manure plants 

 are rye, wheat, oats, mustard, rape, buckwheat. Of 

 these the rye and buckwheat are most generally 

 used, the rye being a winter crop and the other a 

 warm weather plant. They are both strong feeders 

 and can use tough plant food. They do not add 

 new nitrogen to the soil though they furnish humus 

 and prepare food for the weaker feeders which may 

 follow them.
