Aims

To understand the impact of frost, and the interaction of stubble management, ripping and frost on pulses

Key messages

Although we reached harvest at both Kimba and Farrell Flat, multiple environmental factors coinciding with bacterial blight infection meant that data was compromised, and no sound conclusions could be drawn from this work.
