“…Comparable results were reported by Annicchiarico and Iannucci (2008) who found that mild winter temperatures prevented a sufficient hardening against frost conditions. Winter hardiness of winter sown faba bean cultivars is dependent on frost tolerance and hardening, and influenced by diseases, snow cover, sowing date and waterlogging (Link et al, 2010;Neugschwandtner et al, 2019). The northern location Thermi was a higher yielding environment for number of pods per plant and number of seed per pod (27.8 and 4 averaging over cultivars respectively) than the central location Larissa (12.1 and 2.97 accordingly).…”

Faba bean is an important grain legume, grown for human consumption and animal feed and can be used as an alternative to soybean protein. Drought and heat strongly influence faba bean growth and production, especially in flowering and pod development stages. The aim of this study was to determine the response of six cultivars to different environmental conditions during the 2018-2019 growing season. Four inbred lines and two commercial cultivars were sown in different environments in South, Central and North Greece. At each location, a randomized complete block design with four replications was used. Different characteristics such as plant height, number of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod-1, seed yield and 1000-seed weight, were recorded. The results indicated that all traits were significantly affected by different climatic conditions and cultivars. In most cases, seed yield and 1000-seed weight decreased with increasing drought conditions in the southern site. KK10 produced higher yield and pods plant-1, especially in North and Central Greece. The late maturity cultivars, ‘Polycarpe’ and KK14, showed lower values for the seed traits under all locations. Multi-location trials are useful for the evaluation of new cultivars and lead to an increase in production of feedstuff directly available to farmers.

“…N fertilization rates and timing, soil management and weeding) should be applied since legume straw is rich in nitrogen, which may be lost through emissions to water (e.g., nitrate leaching) and air (N 2 O) (Nemecek et al, 2008;Plaza-Bonilla et al, 2017). In this regard, nitrate leaching could be reduced by including catch crops (rye, oat, and sunflower) or sowing winter grain legumes (faba bean and pea), where possible (Nemecek et al, 2008;Neugschwandtner et al, 2019).…”

“…Currently there is a great deficit of about 70% of high-protein feed for livestock in Europe, which is met by imported soybean and soymeal [2]. To reduce this deficit, grain legume production in Europe has to be increased, e.g., by introducing more drought resistant grain legume species, such as chickpea [3], and by using winter grain legumes [4,5].…”

“…In Central Europe, grain legumes are commonly sown in the spring. Successful cultivation of both winter peas and winter faba beans has been reported in Austria, Germany and Switzerland [4,5,[12][13][14], while it is a tradition in European regions with less frost, such as France or Spain [15,16].…”

Grain legumes are valuable sources of protein and contribute to the diversification and sustainability of agricultural systems. Shifting the sowing date from spring to autumn is a strategy to address low yields of spring grain legumes under conditions of climate change. A two-year field experiment was conducted under Pannonian climate conditions in eastern Austria to assess the nitrogen yield and biological N2 fixation of winter peas and winter faba beans compared to their spring forms. The grain nitrogen yields of winter peas and winter faba beans were 1.83-fold and 1.35-fold higher compared to their spring forms, respectively, with a higher value for winter peas. This was mainly due to higher grain yields of winter legumes, as winter faba beans had a 1.06-fold higher grain nitrogen concentration than spring faba bean. Soil mineral nitrate after harvest was similar for all grain legumes, with by 2.85- and 2.92-fold higher values for peas and faba beans than for cereals, respectively. The N2 fixation of winter peas and winter faba beans were 3.90-fold and 2.28-fold higher compared to their spring forms, with winter peas having a 1.60-fold higher N2 fixation than winter faba beans. The negative nitrogen balance of winter peas was smaller than that of winter faba beans as they demonstrated the ability to overcompensate for higher nitrogen removal with grain through higher N2 fixation. The cultivation of winter grain legumes, especially winter peas, can be recommended under Pannonian climate conditions as they achieve high nitrogen yields and high levels of N2 fixation.
