Organically produced legume seed meals are an upcoming alternative to established
fast mineralising organic fertilisers based on plant and animal waste products with
suspect origin (e.g. hornmeal). The turnover in soil was investigated with respect to
the influence of legume variety and seed meal texture. Variety specific differences in
net N mineralisation could be attributed to differences in C/N ratio and cellulose
content. The influence of texture classes on net N mineralisation was considerably
smaller than the influence of differences between the investigated species
