In 2023 we aim to compare the efficacy of herbicide packages for the control of problem weeds in herbicide tolerant lentils. As lentils increase in frequency in Mallee rotations, broadleaf weeds are becoming an increasing issue. Spiney emex (three corner jacks, double gee) is of particular […]
Background Several new lentil varieties have been released or are due to be released with changes in agronomic traits such as plant architecture, biomass production, reproductive duration and timing, disease resistance, herbicide tolerance and pod retention.Changes in sowing date have the potential to maximise the benefits […]
Background A new lentil variety combining metribuzin tolerance with imidazolinone is available and could improve the control of broadleaf weeds in lentils. Combining the tolerance trait with new metribuzin usage practices could improve weed control options.The trial will be conducted in a location with known background […]
Background Seed size and quality is critical to the marketability of faba beans.In faba beans, the ability to sow small seed, reducing seeding costs would assist grower profitability if it can be demonstrated there is no yield penalty in doing so. In 2021 is was demonstrated […]
Background Seed size is critical to the marketability of lentil. In PBA HallmarkXT, there was some mixed price signals due to variability in seed size and it not quite fitting into one of the 3 market classes (small, medium & large); this has has stabilised over […]
Background Several new faba varieties have been released or are due to be released with changes in agronomic traits such as, flowering time and reproductive duration, disease resistance, herbicide tolerance. In addition, faba beans current only have limited uptake in drier mallee regions.Early sowing and with […]
Background A new lentil variety combining metribuzin tolerance with imidazolinone is available and could improve the control of fumitory in lentils which has become a problem weed in the Mallee where lentils are grown in tight rotations. Combining the tolerance trait with new metribuzin usage practices […]
