Wheat and field bean intercropping (organic)
Intercropping wheat with field beans for sustainable crop rotation and nitrogen fixation
or
Detail description
Field beans enhance crop rotation by fixing nitrogen, improving soil structure, and boosting biodiversity. Grown in mixed cropping with wheat, they suppress weeds, increase total yield, and improve wheat protein content. Suitable for fertile and lighter soils, they support sustainable farming and reduce reliance on imported soya.
