Les céréales rendues impropres à la consommation humaine ou animale par des mycotoxines sont soit rejetées, soit enfouies comme un engrais vert; or, il se pourrait qu'elles soient une source d'amidon bon marché pour la production d'éthanol.

Enfouissement - Il ne faut jamais enfouir un engrais vert, surtout s'il est bien développé, directement par un labour ou une autre façon culturale profonde. Il faut, dans la mesure du possible, faire: - un fauchage ou un broyage de l'engrais vert, qu'on laissera sécher un ou deux jours; - une incorporation superficielle à l'aide de disques ou d'un outil rotatif; - un ameublissement et un enfouissement en profondeur de deux à trois semaines plus tard, lorsque l'engrais vert aura largement amorcé sa décomposition. 2, record 1, French, - enfoui%20%28%C3%A0%20la%20charrue%29
