Aims
To evaluate the pulse crop options suitable for the district not only in terms of their profitability but in terms of their contribution to the performance of subsequent wheat crops.
Key messages
All crops emerged and established well in the early stages.
Lentils and fieldpeas were very quick and uniform.
Lupin emergence was staggered but were eventually very even.
Narrow leafed lupins were severely damaged in all replicates by hares, which removed the central spike of every flowering plant.
