This trial was established to look at disease management in beans and peas by the use of different varieties, different row spacings to increase airflow through the canopy and through different fungicide timing regimes.
Key messages
In the dry conditions there was no significant differences between the two pea varieties and no significant difference between the faba bean varieties. The yields for all of the varieties was disappointing and is due in part to the hot dry conditions at flowering but also due to the late sowing of the beans. There are also some indications that a frost may have had some affect on the final yields.
For further conclusions please see the attached trial report.
