Nitrogen-fixing properties of Pulses: Today we know almost everything about that exhausts and destroys soil. However, how much do we know about factors due to which planetary resources are restoring and filling with life-giving force? Many people will be surprised, but Pulses possess such evocative, ecologically enriching property.
PULSES:
- improve fertility of soils
- help to contest with soil erosion, pests and plant diseases
- release from the necessity of the use of synthetic fertilizers.
- reduce carbon track and , by implication ,abbreviate the greenhouse gas emissions in an atmosphere
Water saving: So, for example, for the production of 1 kilogram of shredded peas or lentil- 50 litres of water needed. For the production of 1 kg of chicken meat - 4325 litres of water, 1 kg of mutton - 5520 litres, and 1 kg of beef - 13000 litres of water needed.
Non-wasting production: Stubble remains of pulses is possible to use as a high protein feed for cattle.
