  • GRDC Code: DJP2201-004RTX
    Improving the yield stability of lentil under elevated temperatures
    Acute high temperature (HT, greater than 30°C) poses a significant constraint to lentil production in Australia, reducing yield, grain quality and production stability, particularly when occurring as acute heat waves during the reproductive…

    Overcoming constraints to the profitability of cropping systems on ironstone gravel soils within the Southern cropping region of Australia. …
    The idea for increased profitability on ironstone gravel soils originated from the Albany and Kwinana west port zone within the western region, however, is it applicable to a wider area of the southern cropping region. Ironstone is a sedimentary…

    Quantifying the yield risk of planting CMV infected lentil seed in the Southern region.
    Lentil is an important food crop as it is one of the main protein sources in many parts of the world and is well adapted to dry-land production in southern Australian. The viral disease cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a major limiting biotic factor…

    Closing the Economic Yield Gap for Grain Legumes in Western Australia
    Grain legumes currently contribute in a small and diminishing way to the profitability of Western Australian farming systems. GRDC analysis indicates farmers are aware of the benefits of growing a legume in their rotation but have concerns about…

    Matching adapted pulse genotypes with soil and climate to maximise yield and profit, with manageable risk in Australian cropping systems.
    Historically, pulse crops have been encouraged as a disease break for cereal-dominated rotations, with the ability to fix nitrogen a welcome bonus. More recently, demand for pulses has seen increased prices, and in some areas, pulse crops have…
