Field pea, lentil and chickpea variety x stubble management, Mid North (Pinery), South Australia. locations
Aims
  • 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).
