To evaluate the phenology and grain yield responses of 3 albus lupin, 6 faba bean, 6 narrow-leaf lupin, 6 chickpea, 8 field pea and 12 lentil varieties.
Albus lupin
• There were no significant differences between varieties for grain yield and no trends between flowering and grain yield. The site mean for grain yield (2.7 t/ha) was above average.
• Murringo was the earliest flowering variety and had the longest flowering duration.
• Rosetta was the last variety to flower and had the highest hundred seed weight.
Faba bean
• PBA Nasma, PBA Nanu and PBA Marne were the highest yielding varieties.
PBA Amberley, PBA Samira and PBA Bendoc yielded the lowest.
• There was a strong correlation between varieties that flowered early and had a shorter flowering duration, and higher yields.
• PBA Nanu and PBA Nasma were the earliest to flower however, they had the shortest flowering duration. PBA Amberley and PBA Samira were last to begin flowering but flowered for up to 10 days longer.
• PBA Samira had the highest hundred seed weight whilst PBA Bendoc had the lowest.
Narrow-leaf lupin
• PBA Bateman was the highest yielding variety and had the highest hundred seed weight.
• There was a moderately strong trend that indicated yields were higher in varieties that flowered earlier. There was a moderately strong correlation between high hundred seed weight and grain yield.
• PBA Jindalee was the latest to flower and had the shortest flowering duration, which resulted in the lowest yield and the lowest hundred seed weight.
• PBA Jurien flowered the earliest and had the longest flowering duration (8 days longer than PBA Jindalee).
Chickpea
• PBA Slasher and PBA Striker yielded the highest, compared with PBA Royal,
Genesis™090, PBA Boundary and CBA Captain, which yielded the lowest.
• Genesis™090 and PBA Royal (kabulis) flowered 5–6 days after desi varieties. Flowering duration was not significantly different between the varieties and there were no trends between flowering and grain yield.
• The kabuli varieties had a significantly higher hundred seed weight, compared with the desi varieties.
Field pea
• There was a moderately strong trend that indicated yields were higher in varieties that began flowering later and had a shorter flowering duration.
• PBA Percy was the earliest flowering variety, followed by Sturt. PBA Butler was the last to begin flowering.
• PBA Butler, PBA Pearl, PBA Taylor and PBA Wharton were the highest yielding
varieties. PBA Percy and Sturt were the lowest yielding varieties.
• PBA Percy had the highest hundred seed weight and Sturt had the lowest hundred seed weight.
Lentil
• The highest yielding varieties were PBA Kelpie XTA, PBA Jumbo2A, PBA Greenfield and PBA Ace. Nipper was the lowest yielding variety. There were no trends between flowering and grain yield.
• PBA Blitz and PBA Kelpie XTA were the earliest flowering varieties. However, varieties such as PBA AceA, PBA Highland XTA and PBA Hurricane XTA flowered for a similar duration as PBA Blitz (53 to 54 days) despite flowering 3–6 days after PBA BlitzA.
• PBA Kelpie XTA matured earliest and PBA AceA, PBA Jumbo2 and PBA Hurricane XTA matured last.
The 2021 winter growing season was exceptionally favourable, particularly through the critical reproductive window, with a combination of cool temperatures, minimal frosts and adequate soil moisture resulting in all experiments producing high grain yields (overall site average of 3.2 t/ha). The lentil, chickpea and albus lupin experiments did not show any trends between flowering and yield. The
field pea experiment showed a moderately strong trend that indicated yields were higher in varieties that began flowering later and had a shorter flowering duration. The narrow-leaf lupin experiment showed a moderately strong trend that indicated yields were higher in varieties that flowered early. Narrow-leaf lupins also had a moderately strong correlation between higher hundred seed weight
and higher grain yield. The faba bean experiment showed a strong correlation between varieties that flowered early and had a shorter flowering duration, and higher yields.
