'''Green Manure''' is a plant that can be grown in all types of [[Farming]]. Usually, Rye or Clover is planted as a "Cover Crop".  It uses less [[Water]] than a regular crop,but it's tilled under adding organic matter and nutrients to the soil.  It does not produce {{infoicon|Food}} but instead restores {{infoicon|Fertility|new=yes}} to the farm's soil. It takes 4 months to reach maturity and can survive for 4 months without {{infoicon|Water}}. In the early game before {{infoicon|Fertilizer}} is readily available, Green Manure represents the only method for maintenance of Fertility levels. When planting in alternating cycles with {{infoicon|Potato|plural=es|new=yes}}, 100% Fertility can be maintained indefinitely unless allowed to wither due to extended [[Weather|drought]] without irrigation.

Green Manure is a plant that can be grown on all types of Farms. It produces no foods but increases Soil Fertility and the yield of other crops rotated with the Green Mature. It takes 3 months to reach maturity and can survive for 4 months without Water. Green Manure represents the only method for maintenance of Soil Fertility before Fertilizer is readily available. After the Green Mature is replaced by Fertilizers, it is still the only way to avoid the penalty for lacking rotation in case of producing only 1 crop.
