Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) for erosion control and other services in Tanzania
General
Luvilukuni, Tanzania
This is a followup question to one that I had posted with regard to cover crops for erosion control in Tanzania ( see an additional picture below).
I have been thinking about trying Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) for some time, but do not know much about its water and nutrient requirements and am also finding it difficult to locate a reliable seed source in Africa.
Any general advice on establishing and managing this plant for erosion control and forage production in a very difficult environment would be much appreciated.
