Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) is an annual legume originating from India that has been cultivated as a fiber crop, green manure, forage, and cover crop. It fixes 50-60 kg of nitrogen per hectare, improves soil fertility, suppresses weeds and some plant-parasitic nematodes. Sunn hemp grows well in tropical and subtropical regions with temperatures between 15-27°C, and yields 18-27 tons per hectare of green biomass when grown for fiber or 5-19 tons per hectare of forage. It can be established through broadcasting or row sowing of seeds and is harvested for fiber around 60-90 days after sowing.
