Evaluierung verschiedener Sorten und Zuchtlinien von Sommererbsen und Ackerbohnen in Reinsaat und im Gemenge unter biologischen Anbaubedingungen in Luxemburg

Due to the decreased demand for grain legumes, breeding and research efforts in this area have declined in Europe. In an effort to counteract this development, the European project COBRA was launched. COBRA aimed to support and develop organic plant breeding and seed production with a focus on increasing the use and potential of plant material with High genetic Diversity (Hi-D) in cereals (wheat and barley) and grain legumes (pea and faba bean) through coordinating, linking and expanding existing breeding and research. The aim of the trial at hand was to pre-test new varieties and breeding genotypes of faba bean and pea in pure stand and in mixture with cereals under organic growing conditions in Luxembourg.
