Summary
Ploughing in winter field peas in spring can provide more than 100 kg of nitrogen to the following crop and increase yield. The improved development of the crop also leads to improved weed control. Possible disadvantages are growing costs and restrictions when cultivating peas as a main crop in the rotation. Find more benefits and practical recommendations in this Practice Abstract.
Summary translation
Das Einpflügen von Wintererbsen im Frühjahr kann mehr als 100 kg Stickstoff für die Folgekultur liefern und den Ertrag steigern. Die verbesserte Entwicklung der Kultur führt auch zu einer besseren Unkrautbekämpfung. Mögliche Nachteile sind Anbaukosten und Einschränkungen beim Anbau von Erbsen als Hauptfrucht in der Fruchtfolge. Weitere Vorteile und praktische Empfehlungen finden Sie in diesem Praxisbericht.
