With an annual growth cycle, this non-wood fiber cover crop reaches impressive heights of 36-108 inches, perfect for hemp seeds for growing and cover crop seed mix. Known for its tall growth, it excels as a nitrogen fixer, enriching the soil by pulling atmospheric nitrogen. Because plants can reach 3 to 9 feet in height, wide spacing between rows (6 inches is recommended) may make plants susceptible to lodging. With adequate moisture, temperature and fertility, researchers have recorded a growth rate of 1 foot per week.
Viable Feed, Superior Growth
Sunn Hemp is a legume commonly used as a cover crop for southern and sub-tropical and tropical farming systems. It has recently been more adopted in the Midwestern United States cropping systems. It is easy to grow and amazingly productive. Recent on-farm grazing trials have yielded an abundance of information on using this crop for grazing.
Adopted in the Midwestern United States cropping systems
Plant Sunn Hemps when soils reach above 50°F and at least four to five weeks before frost. Plants will be killed when temperatures dip below 28°F. Optimal soil conditions include a pH between 5 and 7.5 and good drainage. For forage production, a seeding rate of 25 – 50 pounds per acre is recommended if seed is broadcasted. Seeds should be drilled at ½-inch depth for best germination.
