To compare the performance of pre-commercial and newly released lentil and field pea lines to current commercial variety options in the medium rainfall zone of South Australia (SA).
• Most lentil varieties performed similarly, with yields ranging from 0.07 t/ha to 0.20 t/ha at Hart in 2024 under dry conditions.
• No yield differences were observed for field pea varieties with a trial average of 0.77 t/ha.
• Pulse disease risk was very low in 2024 due to delayed sowing and extended dry conditions, resulting in majority of pulse crops not reaching full canopy closure.
