To demonstrate and quantify the benefits of differing inoculants in both dry and wet sown faba beans and lentil
• Using granular inoculant increased lentil grain yields in a paddock with no background levels of rhizobia, compared to peat inoculant.
• Faba bean grain yield was not affected by inoculant type, rate or sowing dry.
• No response was observed to applying above label rates of inoculant.

| Acknowledgments |
The research undertaken as part of the GRDC-invested SA Grain Legume Validation project (UOA2105- 013RTX) is made possible by the significant contributions of growers through both trial cooperation and the support of the GRDC, and the authors would like to thank them for their continued support. The continued support from industry and breeding organisations for the provision of chemical products and pulse varieties for use in field trials is also gratefully acknowledged and appreciated. |
