Summary

The cultivation of pea (Pisum sativum L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is important for the food and feed protein supply and like other legumes they have the ability to fix nitrogen (N) from the air and improve soil fertility and N-supply for subsequent crops. Yield of grain legumes are unstable among other factors due to lodging and soil-borne pathogens with recommended rotation breaks of up to 10 years.
In the project PROMISE (2020 – 2024) pea-barley and lentil-pea mixtures are investigated with the aim to enhance yield stability via mixed cropping.
