Trial details

Researcher(s) Sharon Taylor (CWFS)
Year(s) 2004
Contributor Central West Farming Systems
Trial location(s) Condobolin, NSW
Wheat after pulses locations
Aims

To compare pulse production, as well as, assess the follow-on benefits of different pulses to wheat.

Key messages
  • Wheat yields and quality did not differ after field peas, lupins and vetch in 2003.
  • Based on this year's results and the 2003 pulse trial results, the pulse crop more likely tov be suited to the Tottenham cropping rotation is field peas.
  • Based on research conducted by Fettell (2003) in Condobolin, wheat yields and protein levels were higher after field peas compared to cereals.
