This session, held by Booki and Quantica Editora, will take place on September 11, 2022 (Sunday) at 11:00 am, on the Praça Laranja Stage, at the Lisbon Book Fair, which will take place at Parque Eduardo VII.

This is the second work in a collection on legumes, having been published for the first time in 2015, entitled “Trevos, Anafes e Luzernas de Portugal”. The book discusses the book Lupine, the Lathyrus and the family included in the legume family, the book whose plants are notorious for their high agronomic, environmental and public health value.
The botanical study of the species included in these genera started in 2016, introducing this information about the importance of legumes in our country and giving us knowledge of the main botanical characteristics of the main species that occur in Portugal.
The formation fences of the emergence of germination and documentations of the emergence of their germination.
Due to the absence of works on this subject, and given that knowing how legumes of forage interest is an ethical imperative for those who work with technicians, for their contribution to the training of students, and other agricultural majors, this appears as a technical work that is necessary for the botanical knowledge of these species, from the first stages of development, while still having cotyledons and/or presenting them as first plants, which allows the identification of the study of juvenile forms and facilitates the presentation of plants.
