Comparison of Yield and Important Seed Quality Traits of Selected Legume Species

Legumes are of great economic importance. Depending on the species, they cultivated for food, fodder, green manure, and even as ornamentals. Legume seeds contain many valuable nutrients also anti-nutritional substances. The aim study is to compare important seed quality traits in pea (Pisum sativum L.), faba bean (Vicia white lupin (Lupinus albus narrow-leafed angustifolius yellow lupine luteus L.) soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). It was shown that obtained parameters were significantly affected by interaction species with years study. Soybean characterized high protein yield favorable chemical composition (protein, fat, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, micronutrients, except manganese). Faba yields but varied over years. rich phosphorus copper. Pea yielded satisfactorily, contained iron low fiber contents. Of three highest, while low. However, had a because protein, calcium, copper, zinc. In conclusion, legumes valued worldwide could be base development functional foods promote human health.
