New cultivars are more
productive and/or more
persistent . They can be used
in the protection and
conservation of soil and
water resources, reduction
of surface water pollutant
transport, improvement of
soil productivity,
preservation of a favorable
balance between pests and
predators and enhancement
of biological diversity. In
addition, some cultivars
have ornamental value for
banks and roadsides or for
the production of bioenergy.
Organic farmers and those
interested in growing crops
for green manure may find
these cultivars valuable.
