SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Alternative Pulse Crops
DESCRIPTION:Where: Virtual \n\n\n\nTime: 11 am – 12 pm CST \n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about the value of adding an alternative pulse crop to your rotation. \n\n\n\nThe agronomic benefits of pulses in crop rotations are well known\, but short rotations can lead to disease pressure. Longer rotations of susceptible crops like peas and lentils are recommended to help fight Aphanomyces root rot. One solution for maintaining the benefits of pulses within longer rotations is to consider growing an alternative pulse crop\, many of which provide some level of resistance to root rot. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Saskatchewan Pulse Growers for a two-part discussion on alternative pulse crop options for your farm\, happening March 24 & 25. On Monday\, we will dive into chickpeas and dry beans. On Tuesday\,  explore faba beans and soybeans. \n\n\n\n\nDay 1: Chickpeas & Dry Beans\n\n\n\nDay 2: Faba Beans & Soybeans
