The inclusion of perennial legumes in crop rotations represents a sustainable agronomic strategy capable of providing numerous agroecosystem benefits. Key advantages include improved soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation, reduced need for synthetic fertilisers, and weed suppression thanks to permanent ground cover, which also positively affects soil structure and biodiversity. The deep root system of these species enhances water infiltration and soil stability, thereby reducing erosion and increasing moisture retention capacity.
