Nammalvar, a renowned Indian organic farming expert, highly praised the Gliricidia plant for its numerous benefits in sustainable agriculture. He emphasized its role in improving soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, its use as green manure, and its effectiveness in controlling soil erosion. Nammalvar advocated for its integration into agroforestry systems to enhance biodiversity, provide natural pest control, and offer a sustainable source of fodder and fuelwood, ultimately promoting eco-friendly farming practices and improving the livelihoods of farmers.
