Winter Pulses
There has been a rise in the growing of winter beans in the UK with the increased pressure on other break crops. Beans provide a useful break to reduce cereal pests and diseases and an opportunity to control grass weeds in the arable rotation. In wet years and on heavy soils, beans perform better than peas. Beans also suffer less from pigeon damage, they are easier to combine, and growing costs can sometimes be lower.
