Increasing Soil Nitrogen By H. H. Hill
Orchard soils in Virginia are low in organic matter leading to erosion and yield losses. Substitutes for available organic matter include green manures like rye, clover, vetch, and lespederas. Narrow carbon to nitrogen ratios favor rapid nitrification. immature rye decomposes quickly while mature rye depresses nitrification. Legumes provide soluble nitrogen over time, while non legumes can tie up nitrogen. Green manures should be turned in early to allow decay and meet the carbon nitrogen balance. Continuous study on clover crops and mulches for orchards is needed.
