Data from: Field pea minerals, protein, and fat affected by environment more than crop residue management
Field peas are an important source of protein, fiber, and minerals. Including field peas into crop rotations can reduce N fertilizer since peas fix N. How we manage our crops can influence soil, plant, and grain quality. We used a 12-year study with different biomass removal treatments to measure field pea quality in a 2-yr crop rotation with spring wheat. Treatments included no biomass removal, removal of wheat straw after harvest, removal of wheat and pea residue after harvest, and a grazed treatment where the wheat and pea residue was grazed in September. We measured field pea yield, protein, fat, and mineral content from 2019-2021. Our results showed that field pea quality was affected more by precipitation and temperature each year than by residue removal treatments. With increasing drought field pea yield decreased but the grain had more protein, P, K, Fe, Zn, and Cu. This is important to producers as it could increase the economic value of field peas during times of drought.
