Broadleaf weeds in lentils are a major contributor to yield loss. In paddocks with a history of pasture, capeweed proliferates. Lentil plantings are expanding into these areas. Combined with early sowing, capeweed has impacted lentil grain yield. This project aims to find solutions to capeweed and other common broadleaf weeds in lentil production systems.

The goal of this project is to develop next-generation rhizobial inoculation systems for lentils by integrating advanced seed-coating technologies with climate-adapted plant growth-promoting bacteria. The project aims to deliver pre-inoculated, ready-to-sow lentil...
This project will evaluate the performance, stability, and nitrogen-use efficiency benefits of the previously selected high-performing plant growth-promoting bacterial strains across cropping environments relevant to SA growers. It will translate the results towards...
Herbicide residues such as those of imidazolinones (IMI) products are of increasing concern to growers. However, predictive tests to assess the potential toxicity of herbicide residues to crops are not currently available. This project will establish and validate a...
