This experiment is one of a series conducted throughout WA funded by DPIRD to ensure lentil varieties are widely tested in WA. Pulse Breeding Australia (PBA) provided seed for experiments. Thanks to the Wongan Hills TSU for trial management and Liebe Group for their continued support in providing trial sites. Salzar Rahman and Pam Burgess provided technical assistance to ensure all treatments and measurements occurred in a timely and accurate fashion. Salzar Rahman and Stacey Hansch salaries are supported by the DPIRD/GRDC co-investment “High Value Pulses - Raising awareness, optimising yield and expanding the area of lentil, chickpea and faba bean in Western Australia” (DAW1903-004RTX). |
