The dairy manure combined with green
manuring significantly increased biomass of maize at all DMA rates (p < 0.05), and maize biomass in the mudflat saline soil increased with increasing DMA rate.

manuring combined with chemical fertilizer in a Mollisol in China.
Green manure crop is cultivated either in that place where green
manuring is going to be done or can be brought from a distance.
Organic sources like farm yard manure (FYM), poultry manure (PM), green
manuring and compost etc not supply the organic matters but also increase the fertility status of soil (Change et al., 1991; Brady, 1996; Chung et al., 2000; Keupper and Gegner, 2004).
Therefore, recent interest in
manuring has reemerged because of high prices of inorganic fertilizers and the importance of green, farmyard and other types of organic manures that provide long term soil productivity besides meeting nutrient requirements becomes obvious.

manuring and fertilizer N application on enhancing crop productivity in mustard-rice rotation in semi-arid subtropical regions.
On average,
manuring treatments did not have any significant effects on the plant vigour at 12 weeks after planting (Table 1).
