		Hemp yarns are also used in certain classes of carpets, for special bags for use in cop dyeing and for similar special purposes, but for the ordinary bagging and sacking the employment of hemp yarns has been almost entirely supplanted by yarns made from the jute fibre.

	Conservation 2000 - CRP Demonstration Project
		Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) is a tropical legume cover crop with tremendous potential for growth and dry matter accumulation when planted after wheat as a cover crop for corn the following year.
		Moving the planting date of the sunn hemp to mid-July (after wheat harvest) proved to be quite beneficial in producing higher dry matter and N contents.
		The apparent niche for sunn hemp may be where hairy vetch winter kills or grows poorly in the spring because sunn hemp produces much of its growth in the late summer (after wheat harvest) and early fall (prior to a killing frost).

		Hemp stalks have a hollow woody core surrounded by the vascular cambium (the growing tissue) and an outer ring of cells consisting of phloem, cortex, and epidermal tissue (the bark) (Figure 2).
		Individual hemp fiber cells range from 0.20 to 2.16 inches (5 to 55 mm) long and 0.016 to 0.05 mm in diameter and are arranged in bundles to form the primary and secondary fibers (Montgomery, 1954).
		Hemp was introduced to the United States in 1645 by the Puritans in New England as a fiber source for household spinning and weaving, but never became as important as flax in the region.

	Evaluation of Sunn Hemp as a Cover Crop for No-Tillage Corn
		The mid-July planting of sunn hemp had the highest dry matter yield and N content compared to the other covers and planting dates (Table 1).
		The percent N in the hairy vetch material was about 3.5% whereas the sunn hemp had percent N in the range of 1.5 to 1.75% (data not shown).
		Planting of the Sunn Hemp to mid-July (after wheat harvest) proved to be quite beneficial in producing high dry matter and N contents.

	Cover Crops in Hawaii (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The growth performance and nitrogen accumulation of the three cover crops (Oats, Sudex, and Sunn hemp) were investigated on the north shore of the island of Oahu, Hawaii.
		Oats, Sudex, and Sunn hemp were grown during two winter rainy seasons under natural rainfall (see fig 1 and 2) conditions.
		Sunn hemp and Oats both showed irregular decreases over time with a dip in values at the third sampling date followed by a rise in values for the fourth (see fig 5 for nitrogen content).

	ARS \| Publication request: Sunn Hemp Utilized As a Legume Cover Crop for Corn Production
		Sunn hemp shows potential to be used as an alternative to winter legumes in the Southeast because it provides a large amount of ground cover and N, which can benefit a subsequent corn crop.
		We determined the suitability of 'Tropic Sunn' sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) as a cover crop for corn on a Compass loamy sand (coarse-loamy, siliceous, subactive, thermic Plinthic Paleudults) in central Alabama using a split-plot design with four replications from 1991-1993.
		Sunn hemp has potential to be utilized as an alternative to winter legumes for ground cover and as an N source for a subsequent corn crop in the Southeast.

	New Disease Reports - The natural occurrence of a begomovirus in sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) in India
		Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) is cultivated in India and other tropical countries as a fibre or green manure crop.
		Although Sunn hemp mosaic virus and some strains of Tobacco mosaic virus infect sunn hemp (Brunt et al., 1996), a begomovirus has not hitherto been reported to naturally infect this important crop species.
		Transmission of the sunn hemp virus by whiteflies, PCR amplification of its DNA with begomovirus specific primers and its strong hybridization with a DNA-A probe of IToLCV strongly indicate that it is a begomovirus.
