Sunn Hemp is a warm season, annual legume. It grows quickly and has a very deep taproot helping to alleviate deep soil compaction. It fixates Nitrogen and releases it through decomposition making it an excellent cover crop for green manure and subsequent crops. It also produces a lot of biomass under adequate growing conditions.
