Faba Bean Production Packages– Frankland (part of 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). locations
Aims

For newly released faba bean varieties: demonstrate production packages, including herbicide, fertiliser and rhizobia options that are the ‘best bet’ to maximise yield.

Key messages
  • PBA Samira was damaged by Intercept, with damage including stunting, chlorosis and coupled leaves
  • Double the rate of standard rhizobia and the new acid tolerant strain improved root nodulation compared to the recommended rate of the standard strain
  • Fertiliser rate impacted on lodging only, with standard rate of P standing up  slightly more
  • All treatments achieved excellent yields >2.5 t/ha
  • PBA Bendoc looked better all year and out yielded PBA Samira for all herbicide treatments
