From the Mekong Delta to the plains of Java — Kohenoor International delivers high-purity sesbania seeds that restore soil fertility, reduce fertilizer costs, and boost rice yields across ASEAN.
Watch how Kohenoor International's premium sesbania seeds are cultivated, processed, and prepared for export to Southeast Asian markets.
Southeast Asia cultivates over 48 million hectares of rice paddy — and decades of intensive chemical fertilizer use are degrading soils across the region.
Continuous rice monoculture across Southeast Asia has depleted organic matter and created nitrogen-deficient soils. Chemical fertilizer dependency has increased production costs by 40-60% over the past decade while yields plateau. Sesbania green manure offers a proven, cost-effective solution to reverse this decline.
As a fast-growing nitrogen-fixing legume, sesbania accumulates 80-120 kg N/ha in just 45-60 days. Incorporated into paddies before transplanting, it replaces 175-260 kg of synthetic urea while improving soil structure, water retention, and microbial activity in tropical soils.
Sesbania provides value beyond soil improvement. Its flowers are prized in Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, its leaves serve as protein-rich livestock fodder (20-25% crude protein), and its rapid growth makes it effective for weed suppression and erosion control on paddy bunds between seasons.
Each Southeast Asian nation has unique agricultural conditions that make sesbania an ideal green manure and cover crop.
How sesbania stacks up against other common tropical green manure crops used in Southeast Asian rice systems.

| Growth Period | 45-60 days | 60-90 days | 90-120 days |
| Waterlogging Tolerance | Excellent | Poor | Moderate |
| Biomass Production | 15-25 t/ha | 8-15 t/ha | 10-18 t/ha |
| Decomposition Rate | Fast (7-14 days) | Moderate (14-21 days) | Slow (21-30 days) |
| Rice Paddy Suitability | Ideal | Upland only | Moderate |
| Edible Parts | Flowers, leaves | None | Seeds (processed) |
| Fodder Value | High (20-25% protein) | Low (toxic alkaloids) | Moderate (requires processing) |
