Products containing imazamox (e.g. Intervix and Raptor) are not registered/permitted for use on any lentil varieties.

29 New chickpea varieties have improved ascochyta resistance, but still need careful management. Avoiding early infection is critical to managing ascochyta effectively. A two spray fungicide strategy will provide reliable control early 4WAS and late 12WAS.

34 Take home messages Lupin have returned to good prices relative to cereals and PBA Jurien looks the business Chickpeas still need fungicide management to work, but seed in low supply Lentils have improved worth having another look at Faba beans when sown early work well and new varieties are less risky low prices in 2016 Pulse crops can find a place in the rotation
