Pulse crops are members of the family Leguminosae or Fabaceae (see LEGUME). The term pulse crops generally refers to those plant species harvested primarily for dry seed that is used as both human food and animal feed. The four commonly grown pulse crops in Canada are FIELD PEA, LENTIL, DRY BEAN and chickpea.Faba bean, Lupin and Mung bean are also grown in Canada on a smaller scale.ommercial production of pulse crops continues to be a profitable enterprise for pulse growers in Canada. More than 10 000 Canadian farms grow pulse crops with a farm cash receipt of about $1.7 billion annually.
1 Pulse crops are versatile, adding flexibility to cropping systems. 2  If growing conditions turn dry, pulse crops can be harvested or grazed for forage or terminated to conserve soil moisture-the soil will still benefit from nitrogen fixation, rotation, and having a cover crop. Pluse crop acres have increased from 350,000 in 2009 to over 700,000 in 2014. 2  Pulse crops require little (if any) nitrogen fertilizer; instead they fix nitrogen from the air into the soil. 3  Pulse crops help break disease and pest cycles in wheat and barley.
