Lentil Variety x herbicides on lighter textured topsoil – Grass Patch locations
Aims
  • Demonstrate how to improve the safety of soil applied herbicides by the timing of application and the condition of the furrow.
  • To demonstrate tolerance of latest lentil varieties to old and new herbicides.
Key messages
  • PBA Highland XT produced higher yields than the standard variety PBA Bolt
  • PBA Highland XT appeared to have better herbicide tolerance than PBA Bolt
  • Deeper sowing and rolling immediately after sowing increased crop safety and yields
  • Applying soil active herbicides prior to sowing increased crop safety
