Integrated management of crown rot in a chickpea - wheat sequence locations
Aims

To examine whether integrating row placement, stubble management, chickpea row spacing and a ground engaging tool would affect Fp incidence and grain yield in wheat in a chickpea–wheat sequence grown under a zero-tillage system. 

Key messages
  • Sow chickpea crops between standing wheat rows.
  • Sow the following wheat crop directly over the row of the chickpea crop from the previous year.
  • Keep wheat stubble intact and do not spread it across the soil surface.
  • This will maximise yield of both chickpea and wheat crops and reduce the incidence of crown rot in the wheat phase of the rotation sequence.
