Grain legume responses to the application of phosphorus and zinc locations
Aims

To demonstrate the yield and dry matter responses of field peas, lentils and chickpeas to the application of phosphorus and zine in the southern Mallee.

Key messages

Filed peas, lentils and chickpeas are responsive to the application of phosphorus.

Growers should soil test paddocks going into grain legumes to determine the optimum phosphorus rate to apply and ensure lentils and field peas are priority crops for P fertiliser.
