These studies have also emphasized the need to explore possibilities of application of organic manures and inclusion of grain and green manure legumes as components of the system, besides application of necessary doses of
inorganic fertilizers. This review mainly encompasses long-term research findings on inclusion of either grain legumes and their crop residues or legume green manures to sustain rice-wheat system productivity and maintain soil quality...
