Aims
To assess the best pulse crop varieties for the South East.
Key messages
Yarrum peas have been the highest yielding variety over the past several years.
PBA Flash is a red lentil that has performed well, probably because it is earlier maturing and springs have often been poor.
PBA Slasher and Genesis 079 are the highest yielding desi chickpeas, although Genesis 090 also did well at Struan where late rainfall helped.
Farah beans generally performed well in the South East in 2009 and the hot finish did not suit Nura as it is later flowering than Farah.
Jenebillup outperformed Mandelup again and small quantities of seed should be available in 2011.
