| Legume crops are an important part of healthy crop rotations. They offer more than just the harvested part: residual N, healthy soil, broken cereal disease cycles, ecological services. In 10 years 10 % of the arable land of Europe could be under legumes to meet our needs for livestock feed. Increased production of legumes will: Provide local feed, reduce international nitrogen imports and other "feed miles". Contribute biologically fixed nitrogen to energy crops as well as mainstream crops. Increase yield and quality of following crops. Add diversity to farm income streams. |

| Grain legumes have excellent nutritional quality that makes them a staple ingredient for feeding ruminants, pigs and poultry. Legumes are known for their high protein content, and although they are low in the sulphur-containing amino acids and tryptophan, they have a high content of lysine; thus they are an ideal supplement to cereal-based diets and food products (Duranti & Cius 1997). Legumes have many beneficial effects in human diet. There is potential and sufficient farmer interest to establish grain legume crops in the Nordic-Baltic region through screening imported germplasm for adaptation. There are many potential uses of legume seeds as functional ingredients, thus further research is needed to design legume-supplemented food... |

| The 2010 growing season was exceptionally warm and most cultivars performed well, except Sovereign and Sedley that lodged and matured late. There were significant differences in earliness (P<0.001), the earliest cultivar being Rosetown (901 GDD to maturity), and the latest Sedley (1214 GDD). There were no significant differences in yield (P=0.111), the average being 1.49 t/ha. Cultivar Meteor was the highest yielding with 1.86 t/ha but it lodged, whereas cvs Redbow, Redcoat, Rosetown and Milestone yielded between 1.5–1.6 t/ha and showed few problems in cultivation, so further experiments will focus on them. In conclusion, lentil cultivation is feasible in Finland, and further trials will be run in 2011. |
