Vetch and faba bean biomass

To determine if there is any quality variation against different seeding rates for oats.

To determine yield against various seeding rates for oats.

The primary purpose of this project was to provide additional data from a range of different agricultural scenarios (climate, soil type, management practices) in the Western Region to validate and enhance the ability of the BlacklegCM app to more accurately determine the return on investment various management decisions may provide to a grower in any given year. The secondary purpose of this investment is to increase the grower and advisor confidence in the use of decision-making tools to manage disease in canola in the Western Region, in particular increase the awareness and use of the BlacklegCM app.
