Questions des équipes achats

Réponses aux questions les plus fréquentes posées par les acheteurs lors d'un RFQ ou d'une évaluation d'expédition d'essai.

Sesbania bispinosa or Sesbania sesban — which to specify?

+

Sesbania bispinosa (dhaincha) is the annual green-manure / cover-crop species — dominant in India / Pakistan rice fallow, fast biomass, ploughed in at flowering. Sesbania sesban is the perennial multi-purpose fodder species — used in Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda for cut-and-carry dairy fodder, agroforestry alleys, and bee forage. Specify by Latin binomial; common-name "sesbania" alone is ambiguous.

How does sesbania compare with sunn hemp as a green manure?

+

Sesbania bispinosa fixes 80–120 kg N/ha in 50–60 days; sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) fixes 60–100 kg N/ha but is faster (45–55 days). Sesbania tolerates waterlogged paddy fallow better; sunn hemp prefers well-drained soil. South-Asian rice-rice rotations historically prefer sesbania; West-African / Latin-American rotations prefer sunn hemp. We ship both depending on agronomic fit.

Can sesbania be grazed?

+

Sesbania sesban can be cut-and-carry browsed for dairy cattle (8–12% CP, palatable). Sesbania bispinosa is mildly toxic to ruminants — ploughdown only, do not graze. Specify the species clearly; mis-application is a known buyer error. We provide species-specific COA on every lot.

What seeding rate for paddy fallow ploughdown?

+

20–30 kg per hectare broadcast, no land preparation needed in moist paddy fallow. Stand grows to 1.5–2.5 m in 50–60 days, ploughed in at first flowering for maximum nitrogen contribution. A 22 MT FCL covers 730–1,100 ha. Sowing window in South-Asian paddy fallow is May–early June.

How long is the seed shelf life?

+

Sesbania seed has hard-seededness — viable 18–24 months at 25 °C / 60% RH if kept in PP bags inside dry warehouse. Hot-water scarification (60 °C for 10 minutes) before sowing breaks dormancy and lifts germination from 60% raw to 85%+. Most buyers do field scarification; we can supply pre-scarified lots on request at a small premium.
