In recent years,<br />due to the pursuit to use domestic protein raw materials, growing<br />interest in the production of pulse crops has been observed, especially<br />in countries with limited soybean cultivation. A necessary<br />condition for further growth of the area sown to grain legumes<br />and domestic production of plant protein is the appearance on the<br />market of new cultivars with stable yields. Only in the case of<br />3 species – soybean, narrow-leaved lupin and pea, an increase in<br />the number of cultivars, including foreign ones, has been noticed<br />over the last 5 years. The contribution of Polish cultivars to the<br />Community Catalogue is significant only in the case of yellow<br />and narrow-leaved lupins, and only symbolic for soybeans. Fewer<br />than half of the registered grain legume cultivars are recommended<br />for cultivation in individual voivodeships, and in 2019, less<br />than 22% of the total grain legume crop area in Poland was sown<br />with certified seed.</p> ER -
