Beans are a valuable cover crop used actively in agronomy to improve soil quality. Their root system penetrates deeply, reaching up to 1.5 meters, which helps loosen the soil and increase its fertility.
When planted, beans enrich the soil with nitrogen thanks to symbiotic bacteria in their root nodules, which fix atmospheric gas. This makes them an ideal choice for rotation with cereal crops, allowing to reduce the need for artificial fertilizers.
Additionally, beans effectively suppress weed growth: dense crop cover and active competition for light and nutrients reduce their development. In the end, the plant ensures comprehensive protection of the soil from erosion, improves its structure and increases the yield of subsequent crops.
