This project will evaluate and compare the safety of various herbicide treatments and use-patterns on lentils on typical Upper South East (SE) and Murray Mallee soils. The aim is to determine the viability of lentils as a legume rotation option in cereal-canola dominant cropping systems, and soil types where faba bean and lupin rotations are limited by profitability, marketability and scalability. The research will also investigate the yield comparison between lentil varieties at Malinong to address the lack of NVT data relevant to the Upper SE. This project is a co-investment, with GRDC providing 50% of the total funding.
