Winter faba bean
A protein crop and source of vegetable protein, faba beans are used mainly for animal feed, but also for human consumption. Sown in November-December and harvested in July, winter faba bean is a key crop in crop rotation, providing yield gains, nitrogen savings for the following wheat crop and improved protein content. It reduces disease and weed pressure in the rotation, and saves water and inputs. While resistant to aphanomyces, faba bean is susceptible to bruchid. It can be grown on clay and stony soils. Able to smother weeds, winter bean lends itself well to organic farming.

The benefits
Multiple outlets
Mainly used in animal feed, human food is also growing rapidly.
Excellent precedent
Beans require no nitrogen fertilizer and leave nitrogen for the following crop.
Not very demanding
Winter bean requires little water or inputs
Growing guides
In 12 chapters, you'll find everything you need to know about growing faba beans and organic faba beans: varieties, plot selection, planting, irrigation, fertilization, weeding, harvesting and storage. The guides highlight the crop's advantages and provide an update on how to combat the pests and diseases that affect faba beans. Last but not least, there are some key dates for the crop.

Weeds: characterization of sensitivity to ALS inhibitors
Research by molecular analysis (sequencing) of mutations in the acetolactate synthase gene conferring resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in weed populations (wild sunflower, ragweed, ammi majus, poppy, orobanche ramosa, orobanche cumana, geranium dissectum, geranium columbinum, geranium rotundifolium, sanve, ravenelle).
For each population (1 population = 1 sampling site on a given date), 5 plants are analyzed. The results are transmitted in the form of a report.
