To assess the value and place of grain legumes in a wheat rotation.
Key messages
The highest yielding pulse in 2003 at Euabalong was field peas, followed by lupins and then vetch.
All pulse crop gross margins were negative, reflecting the cost of seed, the cost of herbicides and the effect of drought on grain production.
