NSW Pulse Agronomy Development and Extension Project

2021 Summary of field trial results

The project aims to close the economic yield gap and maximise farming system benefits of pulses in southern NSW.

Sites were selected based on the following criteria:

• Currently a low percentage of pulses in the farming system, but with potential (and often the need) to increase pulse production.
• Local challenges limiting pulse production (both real and perceived) e.g. soil acidity, soil sodicity, climatic conditions and pulse crop adaptability.
• Trials in regions/environments with lower research presence historically.
