MENU HOMEAGRICULTUREGREEN MANURES AND GREENING Green manures and greening Sowing green manures is indispensable for the soil fertility of your fields. In the short term, a green manure ensures a limitation of the nitrogen leaching after the main crop, a reduced sensitivity to erosion, an improved water permeability of the soil, a potentially thorough control of nematodes, etc. In the longer term, the preservation and build-up of the humus and organic carbon content in the soil as the main target. This leads to a better quality soil life and thus a better soil structure and mineral balance. In other words, all these advantages together result in higher and more qualitative yields from the successive crops. All the advantages aside, the European Union has introduced several measures since 2015 regarding the ecological focus area (EFA) or the so-called greening requirements. All this to preserve and improve biodiversity in the agricultural landscape, given the social role that a farmer can play there. The majority of farms with more than 15 hectares of arable land, i.e. the total area in the single application without permanent grassland and permanent crops, must set up 5% of this area as EFA. In addition to fallow land, buffer strips, the cultivation of nitrogen-fixing crops, etc., a green cover mixture comes into play here to meet these requirements (EAG codes 657, 658 and 659).
