Tackling herbicide residues and lentil root diseases (SAR1526)
Lentil growing is increasing in SA, with farmers using shorter rotations which can lead to build up of root diseases. Dry summer conditions can result in increased risk of...
Capeweed control and weed management strategies in lentils (BRO1126)
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...
Upper South East and Mallee lentil herbicide safety and variety performance (AGX2225)
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.
Optimising lentil yields through rotation intransient salinity soils (NEW0224)
This project aims to make transient saline soils more productive again for growing lentils through the use of a chemical fallow phase of the rotation. The fallow allows both soil moisture to be conserved through stubble load, helping for lentil establishment, and will also aim to reduce the area of saline affected soil for the following crops.
