Abstract

While it is well known that legume crops have many positive environmental effects in rotations, farmers and agronomists need assistance with understanding the possibilities for incorporating them into arable and forage rotations and assessing the financial risks and benefits of doing so. Hence, Reckling et al. (2014) generated rotations for five case regions across the Legume Futures network, and this report focuses on the evaluation of the agronomy of those rotations and the feasibility of their application, as assessed by the senior agronomists at each of the five partner institutions.
