Green manuring involves growing and then plowing under cover crops, usually legumes, to enrich the soil with organic matter and beneficial nutrients like nitrogen through symbiotic relationships with bacteria.

Conservation tillage is a method of soil cultivation that reduces erosion and soil compaction by leaving crop residues on the field surface, fostering a healthy soil structure.

Crop rotation is the practice of planting different types of crops sequentially on the same land to improve soil fertility and reduce soil erosion and pests.

Composting involves decomposing organic matter, like kitchen scraps and yard waste, to create a nutrient-rich soil amendment, enhancing soil structure and providing essential nutrients.

Cover cropping is the use of specific crops to cover the soil between main crops to prevent erosion, improve soil health, and enhance water retention.

Mulching involves the application of a layer of material on the soil surface to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and provide nutrients as it decomposes.

This fertilization practice combines the use of chemical fertilizers with organic amendments and biological processes to maintain soil fertility and reduce dependency on synthetic inputs.
