Adoption of green manure and cover crops
2003
Bunch, R.
Worldwide, green manure and cover crops (gm/cc's) have proven to be a successful technology for maintaining soil fertility and controlling weeds. The numerous advantages of gm/cc's have led to their widespread adoption in many parts of the world. In other areas, however, farmers have been reluctant to adopt these crops. Moreover, farmers, are also known to have abandoned traditional systmes. The question is why the introduction of gm/cc's has been a success in one area, while similar programmes have failed in others? Under what conditions can we expect small-scale farmers to be interested in growing cover crops?
