The profitability of mixed cropping with winter faba bean and winter wheat

Dear Readers,

How economical and competitive is any simultaneous cultivation of legumes and non-legumes, especially in regard to:

• simultaneous cultivation of winter faba bean and winter wheat,
• comparison to their pure seeds,
• in field trials at different locations?

Test results and new findings resulting from this project are described in the following article:
