Faba bean crop-topping/desiccation, Yorke Peninsula (Melton), Eyre Peninsula (Yeelanna) and South East (Bool Lagoon), South Australia locations
Aims
  • To determine the correct maturity timing required in faba bean for successful crop topping practice.
Key messages
  • Crop-topping 7-14 days prior to milky dough stage of ryegrass caused significant yield loss at all three sites, and ranged from 24% at Melton to 72% at Bool Lagoon.
  • Crop-topping at the milky dough stage (MDS) of ryegrass caused significant yield loss at only one of the three sites (Bool Lagoon).
