Description
Ye leads a team testing legume green manures for melon growing problems in a 2025 paper. Planting the same crop again and again in greenhouses degrades the soil. Two vetch species were grown in the winter fallow before muskmelon.
Both manures raised melon yield and lifted soil acidity balance and organic matter. Salt levels in the soil dropped sharply. Microbe surveys showed richer communities, with helpful groups linked to higher yield and a harmful fungus suppressed. Soil acidity and organic matter drove the helpful shifts, while salt favored harmful groups. The authors frame green manure as a low-cost fix for southern China greenhouses. The mechanism runs through soil ecology.
