Sunn Hemp Cover Crop Seed (Green Manure)
Green Manure Hawaii ™
Grow Your Own Fertilizer
Sunn Hemp is an erect, branching, annual legume cover crop or green manure plant. It is a rapid, vigorous grower, achieving a height of over 4ft (1.2 m) in 60 days. It can attain a height of over 6 ft (1.8 m) in approximately 90 days. Seed at the rate of approx. 1 lb. per 100 sf for thick stand in home garden. Seeding rate is flexible. The seed can be inoculated with cowpea-type or “EL” inoculants to ensure effective nodulation and increased nitrogen fixation as some soils may not contain the correct Rhizobium
strains. Sunn Hemp is principally used as a green manure crop for soil management. It is an excellent, rapid growing green manure to be included in rotation with vegetable, ornamental, and other plants to add nitrogen and organic matter, to suppress weeds, and to reduce root-knot nematodes. Sunn Hemp has added
134 to 147 lbs. of actual nitrogen per acre to the soil when grown for 60 days and then incorporated in test plots. Organic matter yields of as much as 3 tons per acre air-dry weight can be produced within 60 days if growing conditions are favorable. Sunn Hemp seed does not need to be bought in bulk or large quantities. Sunn Hemp
seed is available from Island Soil Testing Service in smaller quantities down to 1 lb. size bags which is specifically geared for the home gardener or small farmer.
