Aims
  • To test the yield response of current and nearly released field pea varieties to changes in plant populations across the different field pea growing regions of NSW.
Key messages
  • Despite a late break to the season (12 June), very favourable conditions followed resulting in exceptionally well grown plants and above average yields with very little disease.
  • Yield declined in all varieties when densities were below 35-40 plants/ sq m.
  • There were no significant yield responses above 35-40 plants/ sq m in all varieties except 96-262*1.
  • Seed size increased with density for Kaspa, Moonlight & Parafield but unaffected in others
  • Increasing density increased lodging in the semi-dwarf types (Kaspa, Moonlight, Yarrum and 96*262*1).
