Knowledge of rotational N benefits of grain legumes can assist in crop rotation planning and N fertilizer management. Four annual grain legumes were tested in Manitoba field trials over 3 yr. Field pea provided the largest and most consistent apparent N benefit to a succeeding wheat crop; soybean provided relatively little N benefit. The apparent N benefits of chickpea and dry bean were inconsistent, although chickpea shows greater potential in dry conditions.
