ROTATION EFFECT OF PULSE CROPS ON NITROGEN FIXATION AND CARBON INPUT TO SOIL
Pulse crops included in a crop rotation can reduce nitrogen (N) requirements via biological N2 fixation (BNF) and provide greater carbon (C) inputs to soil than non-pulse crops in rotation. The goal of this research was to estimate the BNF and C input to soil by various pulse crops (chickpea, …

THE INFLUENCE OF PULSE CROPS ON SOIL PHOSPHORUS AVAILABILITY TO SUBSEQUENT WHEAT CROPS IN THE BROWN SOIL ZONE OF SASKATCHEWAN
… that is often observed in cereals grown on pulse vs. cereal stubble is due to differences in soil phosphorus (P) availability. The influence of pulse crops on soil P availability and P uptake by subsequent wheat (Triticumaestivum L.) crops was assessed in a series of laboratory experiments …

Examining the effect of rotation sequence on biological nitrogen fixation of pulse crops
… is often the most limiting nutrient in prairie crop production and is applied in the greatest quantity. Including pulse crops in rotations has become a popular option due to their ability to form symbiotic relationships with dinitrogen-fixing bacteria. This relationship means pulse crops can …

From field-to-glass: optimising field beans (<i>Vicia faba </i>L.) and peas (<i>Pisum sativum</i> L.) for brewing and distilling
The starch of pulse (<i>Fabaceae</i>) grains, such as faba bean (<i>Vicia faba</i> L.) and pea (<i>Pisum sativum</i> L.), offers an environmentally sustainable raw material for the beverage alcohol industry due to their ability to satisfy their entire nitrogen fertiliser requirement through the …

Dietary fiber content of dry pea, chickpea, and lentil determined using the consensus analytical method, AOAC 2011.25
… in the last 50 years, i.e. the consumption of pulse crops as a dietary staple. To better advocate for an increase in pulse consumption, the determination of the fiber content of these crops using the consensus definition of dietary fiber published in 2009 and the method that conforms to that …

Explore the utilization and nutrition of mungbean [Vigna radiata] for human consumption to promote in Senegal and Virginia
… Sub-Saharan Africa is most at risk for lower crop yields and facing hunger. Within Sub-Saharan Africa, Senegal has some of the highest levels of anemia and micronutrient deficiencies among women and children. Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek] is a pulse crop that has recently been …

BIOCHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF RAFFINOSE FAMILY OLIGOSACCHARIDE (RFO) BIOSYNTHESIS IN LENTIL (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important pulse crop and a balanced source of carbohydrates, proteins, minerals and vitamins. Among the carbohydrates, lentils contain raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO) or sucrosyl oligosaccharides that upon consumption remain undigested in the lower bowel …
