Pulses have a special relationship with certain soil bacteria that have the ability to convert nitrogen in the air into a form of nitrogen that plants can use. This means that farmers need to add little or no nitrogen fertilizer to grow a pulse crop.
Pulse crops produce a number of different compounds that feed soil microbes and benefit soil health. Crops grow better in soils that are more “alive” with a diverse array of soil organisms, as these organisms break down and cycle nutrients more efficiently, feeding the crops as they grow
Pulses are a protein source with a very low water footprint. Pulses such as peas, lentils and chickpeas are well-adapted to semi-arid conditions and can tolerate drought stress.
