Field pea, lentil and chickpea variety x stubble management, Mid North (Pinery), South Australia.
2013
Important note
This trial is to be read in conjunction with ‘Related trials’ where listed in the ‘Trial details’ section below, in addition to the associated ‘Trial report’ and introductory material in the Southern Pulse Agronomy Results Summary where included under the ‘Trial report and attachments’ tab.
To determine the effect of stubble height on grain yield of field pea, lentil and chickpea varieties.
Key messages
Despite consistent stubble loads between treatments, differences in lodging (in all crops) and
grain yield (field peas only) were generated between the three stubble heights at Pinery in 2013.
In a similar trial in 2012, stubble treatments generated significant responses for biomass, maturity and grain yield.
This supports previous work conducted by this project showing that the physical arrangement of stubble (ie standing versus slashed) can have a significant effect on the growth and performance of pulse crop types, as well as the amount of stubble present (ie retained versus removed).
