Novel frost risk mitigation strategies for lentils (SAR4125)

START

July 1, 2025

FINISH

June 30, 2027

Summary

This project will provide management strategies that mitigate frost risk for lentil by assessing the ability of lentils to recover following frost events when supplied with frost tolerance promoting products, including hormones to enhance flower recovery and bactericides to act as antimicrobial agents, compared to without these products. This project is a co-investment with GRDC providing 50% of the total funding.
