• TheNational Seeds Corporation (NSC) Green Manure Mixed Crop Seed Kit is a specialized agricultural product designed to enhance soil fertility, structure, and organic carbon content through natural, sustainable farming methods
• These kits are highly dense blends of leguminous and non-leguminous seeds intended to be grown and subsequently ploughed back into the soil (in situ) about 30 to 45 days after sowing, or just before flowering.Key Components of NSC Green Manure KitsThe kits typically include a mixture of fast-growing, high-biomass crops to ensure comprehensive soil improvement:
• Legumes (for Nitrogen Fixation): Dhaincha (Sesbania), Sunnhemp (Crotalaria juncea), Cowpea, Guar (Cluster beans), Urad, and Methi.
• Non-Legumes/Fibrous Roots (for Biomass & Structure): Sorghum, Maize, Bhendi (Okra), Mustard, and Marigold.
• Weights: Kits are available in various sizes, such as 3.30 kg, 3.76 kg, 3.85 kg, and 5 kg, suitable for covering approximately half an acre of land.

Key Features and Benefits

• Improves Soil Health: Enhances soil tilth, increases organic carbon, improves soil aeration, and boosts microbial activity.
• Nutrient Enrichment: Fixes atmospheric nitrogen and adds essential nutrients (potassium, phosphorus) back into the soil upon decomposition.
• Weed and Pest Control: The dense, fast-growing canopy suppresses weed growth. Some species act as natural biofumigants to manage nematodes and pests.
• Sustainability: Reduces reliance on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
• Adaptability: Suitable for various agro-climatic conditions and helps reclaim saline or alkaline soils.
