Hello,
Last year I grew a few peas for the first time with reasonable success and have subsequently put some more in this year. We also grow beans along with OSR as break crops.
I’ve been advised not grow more than one legume within a five year rotation to avoid building up a sclerotinia problem.
Does anyone have experience of growing more than one legume in their rotation and any issues with disease?
I have inter cropped a small area of beans and oats which has worked quite well, I’m wondering if this would help mitigate the risk of growing two legumes?
Thanks
