To demonstrate that growing canola (with effective weed control options) followed by a high value legume (with higher economic value) can lead to an effective and profitable double break crop sequence. The contribution of an early sowing date to increase the profitability of these crops will also be evaluated.
- Lentil production was impacted by soil acidity and limited local knowledge of lentil production.
- Weed burdens were higher in lentil treatments compared to wheat treatments
- Lentil grain quality was unable to be assessed due to low biomass and low seed formation
