FIELD BEANS

The varieties of field beans (Vicia faba) obtained by Semillas Batlle are the result of a research process carried out over many years with the support of the CSIC. They are characterized with high productivity, matching the profitability of wheat in many cases, along with high protein content. They are also perfectly adapted to machining and are resistant to cold. Vegetates very well, especially in loamy and clay loam soils, where most protein crops find developing challenging. 

It can be used for feed production, as fodder, or as green manure fertilizer (in green manure). It is an ideal rotation alternative due to the nitrogen it leaves in the soil for the next crop, between 60 and 120 units.

CHARACTERISTICS

  • It can be sown in heavy soils, where other legumes do not develop
  • High protein production per ha

USES

  • For feed and forage production 
  • Green manure
  • Nitrogen fixation
