Aims

To evaluate the level of herbicide tolerance in a faba bean mutant derived line with Group B herbicide tolerance traits in response to simulated residues and post-emergent applications of Group B herbicides.

Key messages

High levels of crop safety were observed in the imidazolinone tolerant faba bean variety at both Mundulla and Yeelanna sites in 2019.
