Aims

To maximise production advantages of new faba bean varieties through the development of appropriate disease management strategies.

Key messages
  • A low level of rust infection occurred during October and was the only foliar disease affecting bean performance.
  • 7% higher grain yields occurred in the fortnightly sprayed (improved rust control) and single
    cercospora treatment (reasons unclear) compared with the nil treatment.
  • Grain yields decreased by 14% when sowing date was delayed from May 1 to May 18. No
    further yield loss occurred when sowing date was delayed to June 6.
  • Nura was higher yielding than Farah at the mid sowing time and equal at the others, unlike
    in previous trials where Nura has been lower yielding at later sowing dates. Late rainfall events in 2007 were of more benefit to Nura than Farah.
  • Necking (collapsing of top part of bean plant) was greater at the early sowing time. Nura
    had a higher level of necking than Farah sown early, but yields were the same. Similar
    necking and yield occurred between the two varieties when sown late.
