Small plot trials for protein and legume crops

In small plot trials for protein and legume crops, we have been testing different varieties under organic conditions since 2022. Plots are arranged in a randomized, 4 replicate experimental design. They are at least 1x6 m in size and implement agro-techniques according to organic farming standards. Sowing and harvesting are carried out with small plot seeders and combines. Meteorological data during the growing season are recorded, weed pressure, plant protection and phenological data are also recorded. The small plot trials are designed to compare varieties and to assess the production potential and agrotechnological challenges of different protein crops. This research was funded by the Hungarian National Rural Network (MNVH) under grant number VP-20.2.-16-2016-00001, as well as by the OrganicYieldsUp project. This dataset is part of the database compiled as an outcome of Work Area 1 in project OrganicYieldsUP https://zenodo.org/communities/oyup_2428/records?q=&l=list&p=1&s=10&sort=newest.
