To report on the investigated the interaction between sowing date and sowing rate on the growth and yield of new lentil, field pea and chickpea cultivars. Information from these trials will form part of an agronomic package that will accompany the release of new cultivars.
Key messages
The effect of sowing dates and rates on lentil, field pea and chickpea cultivars was investigated. The only experiment that was harvested was field peas; yields ranged from 0.2 to 0.7t/ha.
The lentil and chickpea trials were not harvested due to the drought conditions. Similar trials were also conducted at Rupanyup, but were not harvested due to the drought and several frosts.
