Legumes

Legumes

After cereals, legumes are the second most popular. This includes table, fodder and industrial crops: green and white beans, green and grain peas, lentils, chickpeas (white peas), soybeans and many others. Peas, chickpeas and lentils are among the cold-resistant crops of a long daylight hours, and southern legumes – soybeans and beans – are among the more heat-loving short-day crops. All legumes need crop rotation and cereals are considered the most favorable predecessors.

Peculiarities

Legumes are very susceptible to nitrogen, thanks to nitrogen fertilizers protein synthesis occurs, which all legumes are rich in. The first application of SatoSoil® Biome or SatoSoil® Prima improvers is carried out in autumn when plowing to preserve the fertile soil layer after predecessors.

 

Application of organic fertilizers – manure, compost and vermiculite – mixed with SatoSoil® conditioners, which suppress the overly bioactive green manure environment, is recommended.

If the agrochemical composition of the soil requires it and pre-sowing inoculation of seeds is not carried out, the starting biostimulant granulate SatoGrowht NPK® is applied. Pre-sowing soil preparation includes the reapplication of SatoSoil® improvers and SatoGrow® organo-mineral biostimulants.

 

For pre-sowing treatment, it’s recommended to use a liquid disinfectant Sato® Seeds, which improves the immunity of seeds and seedlings and protects sprouts from pathogens, ensuring simultaneous seedlings. When applying bio-inoculants, a compatibility check with Sato® Seeds is required to avoid the effect of suppressing beneficial rhizobia bacteria in root nodules.

 

During the growing season, legumes have many natural pests and pathogens. To enhance the legumes’ own defenses, the silicon-containing composition SatoHum® SiO is used, which promotes the production of specific phytohormones and strengthens the stress resistance of plants before parasite attacks.

Recommended products for legumes

WARNING: 4 Sato® Steps is a comprehensive crop care system. There are basic crop needs for the main 12 macro, meso and micronutrients, so for an optimal growing cycle and unlocking the potential of each crop, a balanced diet and timely fertilization are necessary.

 

SOILS: When pre-sowing SatoSoil® soil improvers, the minimum rate indicated in the table is applied. When autumn incorporation, the maximum rate indicated in the table is used. When applying SatoGrow® biostimulants after SatoSoil® soil improvers, the minimum rate is applied. If the soil has not been dressed, root incorporation of the maximum rate is allowed.

 

SEEDS/SEEDLINGS/VEGETATION BEGINNING: Treatment of seeds and seedlings with Sato® Seeds compound is compatible with treatment by classical protectants without reducing the rates of their application, and helps to increase the viability of seedlings, the development of the plant and its fruitfulness.

 

GROWTH: Our SatoHum® solutions have a guaranteed composition with high content of humic and fulvic acids with amino acids of plant origin, so their application rates are significantly lower than those on the market. It is not recommended to exceed the total dose of SatoHum® liquid formulations over 6 l/ha/season.

 

HARVEST: Simultaneous fertilization with several SatoHum® products is not expected. It is not recommended to exceed the specified application rates. For single, not systemic application of SatoHum® products, the maximum dosage of the product is recommended.
