Legumes play a key role in the cropping rotation. Not only do they fix Nitrogen in the soil but they also give the chance for controlling problem grass weeds. Grain Legumes include crops such as Field Peas, Chickpeas, Faba beans and Lentils. There are a range of markets within each crop type and growers should spend time learning and gaining an understanding of the variety they are considering before growing the crop. Seed must be treated with an inoculant shortly before sowing or sown with a granular inoculant.
