Cutting up and incorporating green manure improves the soil, as organic matter from the green manure is more efficiently spread out and works faster in the soil. It improves the organic matter content and consequently also the ability to retain nutrients and water.
The regular supply of organic matter is important to maintain the soil fertility. Green manure plays a substantial role in this process. Properly cutting up and incorporating green manure is necessary to decompose the material faster and speed up the process of improving soil fertility through the organic matter from the green manure.
Permeability of the soil will improve and the soil will "breathe" better, which will increase the oxygen level and the water retention capacity.
Properly incorporated green manure in combination with non-inversion tillage will also maintain and improve the soil structure. That will make cultivation earlier in the spring possible.
