From our crop reference

Sesbania is a tree crop, a perennial. Sow it in Jun–Jul and expect to harvest in 1–3 years. It wants a pH of 6.0–8.5 (on the alkaline side) and 20–38°C. Plant at 2 × 1 m, allowing 10–12 kg of seed per hectare. A good crop returns around 20–30 t green. Watch for stem borer, leaf spot.
