Sunn Hemp: A Legume Cover Crop with Potential for the Midwest? [PDF]

Sustainable Agriculture Research, 2018
Crops like corn and soybean occupy vast area in the Midwest, USA. When land is left fallow after the harvest of these crops, a number of degradation factors operate and bring about soil erosion, nutrient loss, decreased soil organic carbon, reduced biological activity and increase in weed biomass.

Evaluation of sunn hemp performance and nutritive value in Maine, USA

Grassland Research
Background Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L. and Crotalaria ochroleuca G. Don) was evaluated as a warm‐season legume to mitigate the “summer slump” in Maine's forage production caused by heat and moisture deficit stress.

Gompertz and Logistic Models to the Productive Traits of Sunn Hemp

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2017
Studies on growth models for productive character of sunn hemp are important to know the behavior of the culture. Therefore, the objective of this research was to adjust non-linear models, Gompertz and Logistic, in the description of productive traits of sunn hemp in two sowing periods. Two uniformity trials were performed.

Changes in the physiological potential of sunn hemp seeds during storage

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2022
ABSTRACT Sunn hemp (Crotalaria spectabilis) is widely used for soil correction and cover, but it is still necessary to know the characteristics that influence the storage of its seeds. This study aimed to evaluate the physiological quality of sunn hemp seeds under uncontrolled environmental conditions and in acclimatization chamber.
