Pod-set in faba bean – benchmarks and physiology
06.02.2024Pod number can be used to estimate grain yield in southern Australia: every 100 pods/m2 (that contain grain at maturity) equate to approximately 1t/ha for cultivars released since 2013. Grain yield, grain number and pod number are associated with

Optimising efficacy of pre-emergent chemistry
06.02.2024There are four main causes for pre-emergent herbicides to fail to control weeds: herbicide resistance, too little persistence, too little rainfall and too much rainfall. Understanding the properties of pre-emergent herbicides can ensure the best

Strategic use of zinc phosphide is critical for successful mouse…
06.02.2024Reducing background food is critical to achieving effective bait uptake. 2mg of ZnP is required on each grain to deliver a lethal dose to a 15g mouse (Hinds et al. 2023). Grain bait mixed at 50g ZnP/kg wheat is significantly more effective.

Yield potential of synthetic auxin herbicide tolerant field pea
06.02.2024New pulse varieties with improved tolerance to synthetic auxin herbicides are being trialled. Herbicide tolerance traits don’t have to come with a big yield penalty. A 27% increase in grain yield is possible through a single gene regulating plant

New acid tolerant rhizobium strains for inoculant groups E and F
06.02.2024Inoculation of pulses including lentil, field pea, vetch and faba bean is widely recommended, particularly where the pulse is sown into paddocks with acidic soils or, where the pulse or another in the same inoculation group has not been sown for a
