This experiment, which was part of a larger project based at Tamworth (BLG106), was conducted to determine the effect on chickpea and lentil crop development and grain yield from varying amounts of cereal surface residue (mimicking stubble load) and the resulting lower temperatures.
• Total number, severity and length of frosts increased as surface residues increased.
• Increasing the amount of surface residue delayed plant growth, lengthened growth phase duration, and overall time to maturity for both chickpea and lentil.
• For both chickpea and lentil, high surface residues, above 9 t/ha, significantly reduced biomass accumulation and grain yield.
