“…In light of the scientific literature, the effect of S fertilization may also depend on the genotype, i.e. variety [63]. Our results, however, are in line with Mona et al [21], who proved that K fertilization causes slim increase in Lys and Cys in faba bean seeds.…”

The Effect of Potassium and Sulfur Fertilization on Seed Quality of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.)

Faba bean seeds are regarded as a highly valuable protein source for human and animal nutrition. High yield and quality of faba bean require adequate mineral nutrition. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of potassium (K) and elemental sulfur (S) on crude protein (CP) and tannin content (TC) in seeds, crude protein yield (CPY), and amino acid (AA) composition. Field trials were carried out during 2010–2013 in the temperate climate of Central Europe. The study assessed the influence of the following factors: variable soil K content and fertilization (K1, K2, K3, and K4) and elemental S application (0, 25, and 50 kg S ha−1). Plants were harvested at two growth stages to obtain immature seeds and mature seeds. K and S applications did not have a significant impact on CP and AA composition, including sulfur AA content. The TC decreased in response to increasing content of plant-available K in soil. In respect to CPY, the results indicate a positive response of faba bean to increasing K content in soil. The effect of S fertilization depended on the K treatment. The most beneficial influence of S on CPY was registered on K-poor soil.

“…e subject of the study was the cultivar Aura of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). e scheme of the study included the following treatments: O-control (without sulphur and molybdenum), Momolybdenum (100 g•ha − 3 •ha −1 (chizalofop-P-etylu 50 g•ha −1 ) were applied after emergence, when the first pair of trifoliate leaves had unfolded in beans plants (BBCH [13][14]. Beans were grown on-site, where the previous crop was spring barley.…”

“…Leguminous crops are unique in the high protein content of their seeds and their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen [1]. Legume seeds are also very good sources of proteins and amino acids in human and animal nutrition [2,3]. According to Sulieman et al [4], plants that acquire N by biological fixation (BNF) have a higher sulphur (S) requirement than those which use only soil N. In the physiology of legumes, sulphur has a dual role: it is necessary, as a component of methionine, cystine, and cysteine, for the biosynthesis of proteins and for the biological reduction of molecular nitrogen [5,6].…”

“…e most sulphur-deficient soils occur in North America, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and Canada, and also more and more soils in sulphur-poor soil meet in Europe [10]. e deficiencies of this component in the arable soils may decrease the yield and quality of seeds of legumes, by increasing the content of protein, macroelements, and sulphur amino acids [3,5,11]. e nitrogen-fixing process depends on numerous factors, associated with the plant, the bacteria, their symbiosis, and the environment.…”

The aim of the study was to assess the impact of sulphur and molybdenum fertilization on the yield and chemical composition of common bean seeds. A field experiment was conducted in southeastern Poland in 2012–2014. The scheme of the study included the following treatments: O-control, Mo-molybdenum (100 g·ha−1), SBS-sulphur before sowing (50 kg·ha−1), SFA-sulphur foliar application (50 kg·ha−1), Mo + SBS-molybdenum (100 g·ha−1) and sulphur before sowing (50 kg·ha−1), and Mo + SFA-molybdenum (100 g·ha−1) and sulphur foliar application (50 kg·ha−1). After harvesting, the following determinations were made in bean seeds: content of nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, methionine, and cysteine. Application of Mo increased seed yield and protein and methionine content, as well as the content and uptake of P, Mg, and Ca in common bean seeds. Sulphur application had a positive effect on seed yield (13.6% increase) and protein content. Moreover, sulphur improved the biological value of protein by increasing the content of methionine, cysteine, and some macroelements. The most beneficial effects were obtained when both molybdenum and sulphur were used in fertilization. Considering the yield-producing effect and the impact on the biological quality of protein, sulphur fertilization should be included in the crop management for the common bean.

“…those that cannot be synthesised by the body and therefore must be obtained by the diet) in significant quantity [54]. Genetic and agronomic factors may influence the amino acid profile of cowpea [55]. Analyses carried out by Frota et al [56] and Vasconcelos et al [57] have shown that cowpea presented cysteine and methionine as limiting amino acids, whereas the other essential amino acids met the recommendations of the amino acid standard of the FAO/WHO [58] for children (2-5 years).…”

In this chapter, several characteristics of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), including nutritional and nutraceutical properties, and economic and social aspects of production were analysed with the objective to demonstrate that cowpea is a culture suitable for inclusion in food security programs. Cowpea is rich in diverse nutrients, highlighting high levels of protein. Cowpea also is rich in nutraceuticals compounds such as dietary fibre, antioxidants and polyunsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols. Widely cultivated and consumed cowpea is the very important legume for the nutrition and health of millions of people in many countries. In addition to being nutritious and safe, cowpea has high relative productivity, production stability and high tolerance to environmental stresses such as drought. Cowpea also has economic viability, low environmental impact and contributes to the conservation of natural resources and the sustainability of production systems. Cowpea is a safe food, always available in most regions, low priced compared to other sources of protein. Based on the analyses performed, it is possible to infer that cowpea is a strategic culture for the promotion of food security and health of populations on all continents.
