A review on genotypes, plant densities and fertilizer levels influenced on growth and yield attributes of sunnhemp

Abstract

Sunnhemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) known as Indian hemp belongs to family of Fabaceae. The largest producer of sunnhemp fibre in the world is India followed by Bangladesh and Brazil. It is an important multipurpose leguminous crop grown for fibre, green manure and fodder purposes. The experiments revealed that the response of growth and yield attributes of sunnhemp were greatly pronounced by genotypes, plant densities and fertilizers. The optimum plant population with suitable genotypes under required level of fertilizers.
