To determine optimum sowing time and plant density for new cultivars of field pea, lentil and chickpea.
Key messages
Results indicate that management practices will need to be slightly modified in many instances to maximise the yield benefits of these new cultivars.
For example, the new pea variety Kaspa should generally be sown slightly earlier and at higher density than the traditional cultivars Parafield and Dundale.
