Use of Sunnhemp in Cucumber Production

Summary

The project hopes to show that interplanting hedgerows of sunnhemp as a green manure crop will improve sustainability of small, frequently replanted plots of cucumbers by improving soil fertility and decreasing disease, weeds and pests. Sunnhemp may also prove useful as green manure for similar crops.
