Growing Sesbania in Nursery – Seedling Production Guide

Overview

While sesbania is commonly direct-seeded, nursery-raised seedlings offer advantages in situations where precise plant spacing is needed or when establishing sesbania on difficult sites. Nursery production involves sowing scarified seeds in polybags or plug trays filled with a mix of soil, compost, and sand.

Details

Sesbania seedlings grow rapidly in nursery conditions, reaching transplantable size (15-20 cm) within 3-4 weeks. Hardening off for 5-7 days before field transplanting improves survival rates. Transplanting is most successful during cloudy weather or late afternoon to reduce transplant shock.
