Description
Sunhemp seeds are the seeds of the sunn hemp plant (Crotalaria juncea), a species of legume. Sunhemp is known for its fast growth and ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, making it valuable for soil improvement and as a cover crop. Sunhemp seeds are small, round, and brownish in color. They are primarily used for planting and growing sunhemp plants in agricultural fields. Sunhemp is cultivated for various purposes, including soil erosion control, weed suppression, green manure, and as fodder for livestock. When grown as a cover crop, sunhemp adds organic matter to the soil and helps improve its fertility. The plant also attracts beneficial insects and can be beneficial in crop rotation systems. Sunhemp seeds offer farmers and gardeners an option for sustainable farming practices and contribute to the overall health and productivity of the soil.
