Legume Crop Production

This topic focuses on the production of leguminous crops such as beans, groundnuts, and peas, which are crucial for nutrition and soil fertility in Zambia. Learners will master the agronomy of a selected legume crop, covering site selection, land preparation, sowing, irrigation, pest/disease control, and harvesting. The unit also includes value addition, storage, and marketing. Understanding legume production is essential for the CBC's goals of food security and sustainable farming due to their nitrogen-fixing properties. It is a common subject for ECZ exam questions on crop rotations, soil improvement, and specific crop management.
