Aims

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

After two years of trials it appears that the 30cm row spacing is the better option sowing width for both field peas and faba beans. These results should still be treated with caution however as disease levels were extremely low in both years and 2002 was an extremely dry year.
