Boosting Legumes

[Legendary Project @LegendaryEU24]

✅ Successful #LEGENDARYproject meeting in Zlatibor 🇷🇸!
Great talks on field trials, drone & sensor tech, and LCA 🌍 to assess legume impacts. Turning science into farmer-friendly tools is key!
In-person collaboration = fresh ideas & stronger teamwork! 💡🌱

🚨 Field Find!🌿🐞
Spotted at HOGENT-UGent trials: the common red soldier beetle (Rhagonycha fulva) feeding on faba bean nectaries! 🌸✨ Beyond pollination, they hunt aphids, aiding natural pest control. 🛡️🌱

🌍 Uni Kassel (LEGENDARY project) explores 20 accessions from 17 species for forage, biomass, green manure & soil health, focusing on underutilized perennial legumes.
💡 Sustainable farming through perennial crops! 🌾

🌱 Legumes fix nitrogen, benefiting companion plants & future crops. Does this nitrogen stay in the soil or turn into N₂O, a greenhouse gas? 🤔
Daniel (IBLA) collects soil samples, & Céline (LIST) analyses them for CO₂, CH₄, & N₂O. 🌍

🌱LEGENDARY 🌾 is exploring the ecosystem services of protein crops, like residual nitrogen in rotations. At Ten Bogaerde (Inagro), winter wheat after spring faba beans is sprouting! 🌾 Next season, Inagro will sow a new trial with spring faba beans.

🌍🌱 Happy #WorldSoilDay!
The LEGENDARY project explores how legumes improve soil health and prevent erosion. 🌾 We’re conducting soil erosion experiments across multiple locations to deepen our understanding. #LEGENDARYproject #HorizonEU

The LEGENDARY project is exploring ways to boost legumes in Europe. By undersowing perennial legumes into annual ones, we're uncovering new possibilities. At one location, drones were used for the undersowing process! 🌱🚁#LEGENDARYproject #HorizonEU #ResearchImpactEU

🌱 Great day at Zwalmbeekhoeve! On Nov 7, farmers discussed the economic potential of Flemish protein crops, organised by EIP Flemish Protein Farmers & LEGENDARY Project. Strong interest but also a call for fair compensation that values ecosystem services. 🌍

🌾 After a year of spring legumes and mixed intercropping systems, LEGENDARY is diving into the next phase! Triticale, a climate-robust crop, was sown last week in Belgium, for monitoring vital ecosystem services in the coming season.

Flashback to LEGENDARY’s open field day at the UGent & HOGENT experimental farm, Belgium. PhD student Els shows farmers, advisers, and scientists how greenhouse gases are measured in legume field trials.
