Trial details

Trial location(s) Inverleigh, VIC
Pulse variety trial locations
Aims

To evaluate the most profitable pulse varieties and their associated resistance to diseases faced in the higher rainfall zone of southern Australia.

Key messages

Earlier sown beans and lupins proved that pulses can yield in a very dry year. Although yields were comparatively low, an economic analysis has revealed that this enterprise selection was still profitable. Later sowing of peas, chickpeas and lentils showed little benefit due to the lack of follow up rainfall.
