Defining the relative performance of field peas and Albus lupins on the red earth soils of the low rainfall wheatbelt locations
Aims
  • To compare the yield of the new Albus lupin Andromeda with Kiev Mutant in a low rainfall area.
  • To compare the performance of Kaspa field pea with the trailing types in a low rainfall area.
Key messages

Helena is the highest yielding field pea in this trial and confirms other trial experience where the later maturity of Kaspa results in its yield potential being limited in lower rainfall environments.
