Sunn Hemp

Sunn Hemp is a robust warm-season legume known for its upright growth and rapid establishment. It requires soil temperatures of at least 60F for planting and is sensitive to frost, making it an ideal choice for summer cover cropping. At higher seeding rates, Sunn Hemp effectively suppresses summer annual weeds. Renowned for its excellent nitrogen production, it significantly enhances soil fertility. It exhibits impressive tolerance to drought and low fertility conditions, making it suitable for a range of soil types and environments. In addition to its high biomass production, Sunn Hemp is effective in demonstrating nematode suppression and weed control.
