Trial location(s) Kangaroo Island, SA
Preliminary assessment of nodulation on broad bean root systems locations
Aims

To assess broad bean root nodulation success.

Key messages
  • Nodulation can be very poor and very patchy, and measures to improve both the level and consistency of nodulation are needed.
  • Growers are encouraged to take root samples of legume crops in late winter or early spring to assess nodulation. A nodulation assessment guide that includes photos of plants with poor and good nodulation is available online.
  • AgKI has received funding through GRDC for bean nodulation trial work in 2015 – so hopefully next year’s Ag Trial booklet will have good news about how to improve nodulation.
