Break crop selection for Eyre Peninsula low rainfall farming systems

Farming systems in the low rainfall zone of southern Australia are dominated by cereal production. There is increasing concern about grass weed and soil-borne disease pressure, diminishing soil fertility (particularly nitrogen), and water use efficiency, as a result of continuously cropping cereals. Break crops have a key role to play in addressing these issues, as well as diversifying crop production and economic risk, and maintaining long-term sustainability of the system. However, there remains a lack of information available to growers about choosing the break crop best suited to their situation, as break crop development to date has largely occurred in medium and high rainfall zones. The aim of this research is to identify the best break crop options for different climate, soil type and biotic stress situations within major cropping regions of the southern low rainfall zone.

Evaluating alternative pulse options for low rainfall regions

There has been increasing interest from growers and agronomists in low rainfall farming regions to evaluate alternative break crop options to field peas. Field peas are generally well suited to low rainfall farming systems and have historically been the main pulse option for the upper Eyre Peninsula region. However, record high prices and new varieties with improved agronomic characteristics has renewed interest in alternative pulse options. This is the second consecutive year for this trial and alternative pulse crops to field peas performed poorer in the 2015 season compared to the 2014 season. 2014 saw yields well above the long term averages due to favourable conditions and above average rainfall. Crop means for 2014 have been included for reference.
