To assess the ground cover and legacies of pulses in rotation with wheat and canola.
Wheat produced the highest levels of total crop biomass and grain yield at Tooligie, 2023 followed by faba bean, lentil + faba bean, lentil and lentil + canola and then canola (Table 8). Canola yield was low due to damage from galahs during flowering and seed development. The combination of lentil + faba bean (0.79 t/ha) produced more yield than lentil + canola (0.26 t/ha).
