Reliability of pulse crops in central NSW locations
Aims

To provide information about the reliability of pulse crops in central NSW.

Key messages

Row Spacing: Most pulse crops are adapted to wider row spacings:

  • Lupins 18 - 50cm
  • Chickpeas 18 - 75cm
  • Faba beans 18 - 75cm

Wider rows can reduce foliar fungal disease incidence (increasing airflow) and allow better stubble clearance by sowing machinery. However, good weed control is essential with wider rows.
