Field pea sowing dates x plant densities locations
Aims

To determine optimum sowing dates and plant densities Moonlight, Sturt (Yenda only) and 96-262*1.

Key messages
  • Establishment of Moonlight was very poor any yield was still very responsive at the highest
    seeding rate
  • Excell and Yarrum had similar response curves with an optimum density of 40-50 plants/m2
  • Parafield and Kaspa had similar response curves with a noticable decline in yield at the higher
    seeding rates. Optimum plant densities were around 30 plants/m2 for Parafield and 40 plants
    /m2 for Kaspa.
  • Increasing seeding rate in most varieties resulted in a quicker finish to flowering, increasing
    lodging and earlier maturity
  • Seed size was unaffected by seeding rate
