Broad Bean - Vicia Faba, High Plant Hardiness, Resistant To Harsh Climates, Leguminous Nitrogen Fixer

Owing to the profound experience in variegated aspects of the industry, we have been able to export, distribute and supply our clients a wide gamut of Broad Bean from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Broad beans have a long tradition of cultivation in Old World agriculture, being among the most ancient plants in cultivation and also among the easiest to grow. Along with lentils, peas, and chickpeas, they are believed to have become part of the eastern Mediterranean diet around 6000 BC or earlier. They are still often grown as a cover crop to prevent erosion, because they can overwinter and because as a legume, they fix nitrogen in the soil. The broad bean has high plant hardiness; it can withstand harsh and cold climates. Unlike most legumes, the broad bean can be grown in soils with high salinity, as well as in clay soil. However, it does prefer to grow in rich loams. Binomial Name: Vicia faba
