2 Benefits of Legumes Nitrogen Self-sufficient via biological nitrogen fixation Fertilisation effect for following crop Energy Use of solar energy in situ Save on fossil energy resources Chemical nitrogen fertilisers: 1 litre oil for 1 kg nitrogen No energy for tarnsportation and broadcasting Biogas production via fermentation
3 Benefits of Legumes Nitrogen Energy Forage and feed quality Forage intake is higher with legume-based forage followed by higher production Reduced dependence on non-forage feeds Local / home grown protein-rich feed Europe imports about 70% of its plant-derived protein Legumes including condensated tannins (Lotus, sainfoin, sulla) prevent bloating, increase nitrogen utilisation, decrease parasite problems Beneficial mineral content
4 Benefits of Legumes Nitrogen Energy Forage and feed quality Food quality and health benefit Legumes effect the chemical, functional and sensorial properties of milk and meat (more conjugated linoleic acid, polyunsaturated acids) Animal products from legume-based systems are thought to be more natural by consumers Grain legumes help to prevent cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity
5 Benefits of Legumes Nitrogen Energy Forage and feed quality Food quality and health benefit Environmental benefits Higher Nitrogen use efficiency On field level On system level By ruminants Less transient high soil mineral nitrogen concentrations GHG emissions Nitrogen leaching
6 Benefits of Legumes Nitrogen Energy Forage and feed quality Food quality and health benefits Environmental benefits Ecosystem services Higher biodiversity Root exudates enhance the growth of beneficial soil organisms Break soil-borne cereal disease cycles Deep rooting legumes improve the soil structure Increase soil organic matter content
7 Benefits of Legumes Nitrogen Energy Forage and feed quality Food quality and health benefits Environmental benefits Ecosystem services Economic gain High yields without inorganic fertilisers Global warming increased legume yields relative to grasses Including extra 10% legumes in grasslands would result ha -1 for farmers Million for the European livestock farming sector (Doyle & Topp 2002)
8 Forage area under legumes in 12 European countries ha Legumes Legumes+grass/root crops (FAOSTAT 2001)
9 Areas planted with bean and pea crops in the EU between s ha Beans Peas (FAOSTAT 2008)
10 Difficulties with Legumes Less stable and predictable yields compared to cereals and grasses with inorganic nitrogen fertilisers Establishment, management and maintenance of perennial legume-based swards Plant diseases of legumes Annual weeds increase in wide row space cultivation Bloat, oestrogen problems Environmental risks Timing of nitrogen mineralisation and leaching risk? Greenhouse gas emissions?
