Spring Beans Recommended Varieties.

The area of beans is supported by DAFM funding of €7.5 million per year. This encourages home-produced protein crops and crops that can fix their own nitrogen, which is very beneficial to Irish Agriculture.

Also, there is a growing awareness of EU consumers to support products that are produced with EU produced protein crops, not from protein crops grown in an unsustainable manner.

Seedtech supports protein crop development through variety selections trials, agronomy trials, and end-user trials.

There are specialised bean varieties available (such as VICTUS) with altered fatty acid profiles that enhance animal performance and have human health benefits.
