Legumes sagem

The Species Production Guides for legumes provide specific information about growing each of these species for seed production. 

Scroll the list (alphabetized by scientific name) or press ctrl-f (or command-f) to search for any name in this page. 

A printable file (pdf) is also provided on each species page for those needing a print version.
