Examining the effect of rotation sequence on biological nitrogen fixation of pulse crops
… 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 acquire a large proportion of their N needs from biological N fixation …

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 …

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 …

Evaluating the Competitive Abiliy of Semi-leafless Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.)
… Growers can, however, be reluctant to include pulse crops such as field pea in their rotation because they are poor competitors with weeds. This thesis research was conducted to determine whether competitive differences exist among semi-leafless field pea cultivars and to determine the …

YIELD EFFECT AND VECTOR CAPACITY OF PEA APHID IN TRANSMITTING PEA SEEDBORNE MOSAIC VIRUS ON CHICKPEA AND FABA BEAN
… (PSbMV) is an important potyvirus affecting pulse crops, yet its impact on chickpea and faba bean in Western Canada remains poorly characterized. This study examined PSbMV symptom expression, yield effects, and aphid-mediated transmission in chickpea (CDC Orkney) and faba bean (CDC 1310-05) …

Effect of summer and winter rotations on selected soil properties and productivity of succeeding winter chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the minor pulse crops in South Africa, but there is hardly any commercial chickpea production in South Africa and the rest of Southern Africa despite its increasing domestic demand. The country meets its domestic demand through imports. Preliminary research …

Physiological and genetic investigations of iron deficiency in field peas (Pisum sativum L.).
… the chlorosis symptom is especially prevalent in crops grown on calcareous soils which are widely distributed in the southern region of Australia. Although Fe fertilizers have been used to correct the chlorosis and are effective for short term control, cultivation of tolerant cultivars could …
