Dr. Suneel Kumar The nitrogen content in Sesbania plants can vary depending on factors such as the species of Sesbania, the age of the plant, and environmental conditions. However, I can provide you with a general range of nitrogen content typically found in fresh and dry Sesbania biomass.
Fresh Sesbania:
· The nitrogen content in fresh Sesbania plants is generally in the range of 2% to 4% on a dry weight basis. This means that for every 100 grams of fresh Sesbania biomass, you can expect approximately 2 to 4 grams of nitrogen.
Dry Sesbania:
· When Sesbania biomass is dried, the nitrogen content is typically higher on a dry weight basis because the water content has been removed. The nitrogen content in dry Sesbania can range from 3% to 5% or even higher.
It's important to note that the nitrogen content in plants can vary based on factors such as soil fertility, plant age, growing conditions, and species or variety of Sesbania. For precise information about the nitrogen content in Sesbania grown in your specific location and conditions, it is advisable to conduct a nutrient analysis through a laboratory test on a sample of the plant material. This will provide you with the most accurate information for your specific situation.
There is a large data compilation on plant composition named Plant Analysis Handbook 4, by Bryson and Mills.
The nitrogen content in fresh Sesbania typically ranges from 2% to 4%, while in dry Sesbania, it's between 3% and 5%. These are general estimates and can vary based on several factors. For precise values, lab analysis is recommended.
