Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lathyrus sativus or grass pea, is a drought tolerant large seeded legume that is well adapted to dryland temperate climates like that of Saskatchewan. The use of this crop for feed and food is limited because it contains the neurotoxin B-N-oxalylamino-L-alanine (BOAA). A 3-year study was conducted to determine the effect of moisture addition by irrigation on BOAA concentration in the seed of the grass pea in light textured soil.
