Sowing date x stubble management, LRZ Upper Eyre Peninsula (Minnipa), South Australia locations
Aims
  • To compare and identify optimum sowing times of 6 field pea varieties to maximise grain yield and minimise impacts of disease.
  • This trial also aims to investigate whether field peas could benefit from sowing into standing stubble compared to slashed stubble in low rainfall areas in terms of grain yield, disease infection or harvestability.
Key messages
  • Stubble treatments showed no yield difference in 2011, however differences in plant height and
    lodging were observed throughout the season which may aid harvestability, particularly in shorter seasons with less biomass
