High Value Pulses - Raising awareness, optimising yield and expanding the area of lentil, chickpea and faba bean in Western Australia
Pulses are an important part of many productive, profitable and sustainable farming systems in Australia. Historically in the Western Region, the main pulse has been lupin but more recently, lupin production has declined due to low prices and lack of adequate weed control options. New pulse options (chickpea, lentil and faba bean) are needed for the western region.This investment will take a participatory approach with growers and advisers to identify potential pulse options, undertake agronomic experience required for successful pulse production.
