🌱Why focus on legumes?

💪In #LegumeGeneration, we’re boosting #legumebreeding to support:
✔️ plant-based protein
✔️ lower fertiliser use
✔️ biodiversity & soil health
✔️ EU protein independence

🌱Last summer, @LeibnizIPK visited common bean fields of van Waveren Saaten for hands-on exchange.

🔍As part of #LegumeGeneration, van Waveren tested bean varieties and involved a Master’s student from @kieluni.

🔍 @bokuvienna.bsky.social team in #LegumeGeneration uses digital phenotyping to spot tiny soybean differences our eyes can’t see — revealing drought tolerance, nitrogen fixation, pigment levels & growth.

💡This helps breeders select stronger, more resilient varieties.

🌱The #IPK Leibnitz team ran a drought-stress trial to study how common bean plants respond to limited water.
390 plants from 39 entries emerged.
With Prof. Schneider, Master student Immanuel Scheil checked early growth and conditions.
