Abstract: The process of turning of green plants into the soil by growing them in same field or plants grown elsewhere at the succulent stage before flowering and incorporated into the soil is known as green manuring. The green manure crops provide multi fold advantages. By use of green manures it can put in organic matter to the soil and recycle nutrients. Considering this an field experiments were carried out at Instruction farm, N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat), India during summer - kharif season of 2014, 2015 and 2016 to study the effect of different sources of green manures in comparison with INM on growth and yield of succeeding kharif rice (Oryza sativa L.). Various green manuring crops viz., dhaincha, cow pea and greem gram, were sown with their recommended fertilizer dose before paddy crop to evaluates its residual effect. While, paddy crop fertilized with various levels for their performance. Among various green manures and fertilizers in situ dhaincha cultivation during summer season (fertilized 20:40:00 kg NPK/ha) and followed by application of 75% RDF (75:22.5:00 NPK kg/ha) for succeeding rice crop resulted into higher productivity and profitability.
