Plant-Protein Demand Shaping New Yellow Pea and Faba Bean Lines on the Prairies

Researchers on the Prairie Recommending Committee for Pulses and Special Crops (PRCPSC) say protein content in yellow peas and processing advantages of small-seeded faba beans are becoming key breeding targets. New pulse crop lines reviewed in Banff, Alta., this week by the Prairie Recommending Committee for Pulses and Special Crops (PRCPSC) highlight the growing importance of protein content in yellow peas and processing efficiency in faba bean…
