Aims
Assess the response of faba bean and lentil to trace elements cross variable soil types within a paddock
Key messages
Lentil yield was not influenced by soil type or nutrition application at Coomandook in 2023. Faba bean yield was improved by 0.2 t/ha on the mid slope compared to the shallow flat, but not by any nutrition treatment at Coomandook in 2023.
