It is grown across the plains of India in the warm season on a wide range of well-drained soils and is notably drought-hardy once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily: Fabaceae (Faboideae)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative region: Indian subcontinent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature height: 1-3 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth rate: Very fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seed germinates readily with little or no treatment. Sow it directly in the field by broadcasting or in rows about 2-3 cm deep into warm, moist, well-drained soil, ideally just before or with the early monsoon; a short water soak can hasten even emergence. Germination takes only about 3-7 days, and as a direct-sown green-manure or fibre crop the seedlings are not transplanted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51052268945654,"sku":"SED-TRE-CROTALARIA-001","price":459.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-seeds-crotalaria-juncea-indian-hemp-0-5-kg-seeds-16968803549324.jpg?v=1782714420","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/crotalaria-juncea-indian-hemp-0-5-kg-seeds","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
