Does sesbania fix nitrogen?
Nitrogen Fixation in Rice Sesbania species adapt better than Crotalaria as green manures, due to their ability to withstand soil saturation and waterlogging, and to their tolerance to soil salinity. Currently, green-manure legumes in rice cropping systems are primarily grown in irrigated environments [24].
How do you grow sesbania from seed?
