Pulses have high demand for nitrogen during the reproductive stage when their growth rate increases and pods are set and filled. We wish to determine if applying nitrogen in-season will increase nitrogen supply, pod set and yield.
To determine if faba bean responds to applied nitrogen.

This experiment is one of a series supported by the DPIRD/GRDC co-investment “High Value Pulses - Raising awareness, optimising yield and expanding the area of faba bean, chickpea and faba bean in Western Australia” (DAW1903-004RTX). Thanks to the Esperance TSU for trial management, SEPWA and PASE for their continued support. Pam Burgess provided technical assistance to ensure all measurements occurred in a timely and accurate fashion. |
