The webinar provided an overview of emerging protein crops, examples of existing value-added initiatives, and promising innovations, with a focus on the opportunities offered by pea starch and its industrial uses, as well as insights into potential ways to utilize fava bean hulls.

Following a very wet winter and the return of warm temperatures, conditions are favorable for the presence and development of the main diseases affecting winter peas and field beans, namely disease complex and botrytis, respectively. Diseases are widespread in fields at varying levels, from mild to advanced, depending on the agronomic measures put in place. It is therefore strongly recommended to protect your field early on in order to keep the disease under control until flowering.
