SOUTHERN PULSE AGRONOMY - VICTORIA Southern Pulse Agronomy - Victoria delivers localised development trials and extension activities to close the economic yield gap and maximise faming systems benefits from pulses (lentil, faba bean, chickpea, field pea, vetch and lupin) production. To do this a hub and spoke model of grower-driven validation and demonstration trials has been implemented. There are 3 major validation ‘HUB’ sites and 6 on farm demonstration ‘SPOKE’ sites (Figure 1). ‘HUB’ sites focus on a combination of sub-regional grower driven D&E priorities and extension of new research learnings from aligned projects delivering a series of fully replicated trials. ‘SPOKE’ sites focus on-farm with one to two simple trials at each site which may include full scale strip trials, and/or small demonstration plot trials driven by local grower D&E priorities. Trials align with 3 broad categories: 1. Economic impacts of pulses on farm profitability. 2. Disease and integrated weed management in pulses. 3. Flexible responses to emerging grower issues. Research findings are delivered through flexible extension activities linked to each of the sites, including field days and crop walks and through the development of a new digital extension hub https://spahub. com.au/ (under construction) providing the latest photos, videos and results.

NEW VARIETY RELEASES Lentil GIA2002L GIA2002L is a new broadly adapted imidazolinone (IMI) tolerant small round red lentil. Potential release 2021 (tested as GIA2002L). Contact PB Seeds for further information on availability. EPR TBC. GIA2003L GIA2003L is a new broadly adapted imidazolinone (IMI) tolerant small round red lentil. Superior adaptation to light sandy soils than GIA2002L. Potential release 2021 (tested as GIA2003L). Contact PB Seeds for further information on availability. EPR TBC. GIA1703L GIA1703L is the first imidazolinone (IMI) tolerant lentil with improved tolerance to clopyralid soil residues from a prior crop, applied according to product label directions. A small round red lentil with a grey seed coat, GIA1703L is best suited to early sowing and favourable lentil growing areas to maximise growth, height and yield. Avoid low fertility sandy soils and low rainfall frost prone environments. Potential release 2021 (tested as GIA1703L). Contact PB Seeds for further information on availability. EPR TBC. GIA2004L A medium to large size red lentil with a grey seed coat, GIA2004L is the first lentil to combine imidazolinone (IMI) and metribuzin (MET) herbicide tolerances. Potential release 2021 (tested as GIA2004L). Contact PB Seeds for further information on availability. EPR TBC.
Field Pea PBA NoosaA PBA NoosaA (evaluated as OZB1308) is the first blue field pea to be released in Victoria since 1999. It has improved bleaching tolerance and is early-mid flowering and maturing. PBA Noosa has excellent grain yield, similar to the highest yielding ‘Kaspa’ and ‘Dun’ type varieties and >20% higher than the old blue pea Excell. Grain quality will be critical so growers should focus on insect management and timely harvest. Opportunity for premium quality niche markets, initially for domestic human consumption. Commercialised by PB Seeds with limited seed available for 2022 season. PBA TaylorA PBA TaylorA (evaluated as OZP1408) is a new high yielding semi-dwarf, semi-leafless Kaspatype field pea with wide adaptation to southern Australia. It is early to mid-flowering and maturity and has non-shattering pods. Resistant to PSbM and BLR viruses. Commercialised by Seednet. GIA2005P GIA2005P is the only Kaspa type variety of field pea with improved tolerance to common in-crop and residual Group B herbicides (combined IMI and SU), and superior to GIA Kastar in both herbicide tolerance and early vigour. An early to mid-flowering and early maturing Kaspa type field pea, semi-leafless with an erect growth habit. Developed by Grains Innovation Australia (GIA). Contact AG Schilling & Co for further information regarding seed availability for 2022.

INOCULANT RATES FOR CHICKPEA AND VETCH These trials are led by Liz Farquharson and Ross Ballard of SARDI. The work is part of GRDC Project UOA1805-017RTX (9176500), 2018-2022: Increasing nitrogen fixation in pulse crops through the development of improved rhizobia strains, inoculation, and crop management practices. This trial was designed to: 1. Validate the results of pre-sowing soil tests using the new DNA based test from SARDI, Predicta rNod for E & F rhizobia, which measures the number of rhizobia in soils that can nodulate pea, bean, lentil and vetch. A second test under development for chickpea rhizobia is also being validated. Pre-sowing rhizobia numbers: For vetch- predicted as low-moderate for Group E/F (900 rhizobia/g), so there is a moderate chance of an inoculation response at this site. For Chickpea –not detected, so there is a high chance of an inoculation response. 2. Validate if increasing the rate of peat inoculant applied to seed above the standard rate or applying novel “helper” bacteria with standard rates of inoculant can increase nodulation and Nitrogen Fixation of vetch and chickpea.
Treatments Peat Slurry Inoculant applied to seed at different rates; Uninoculated, half standard, standard, double, four-times the standard rate and standard rate + Chickpea helper bacteria or Vetch helper bacteria.
Other Details Sowing Rate Chickpea: 35 plants/m2 Vetch: 70 plants/m2 Sowing Date 06th May
Inoculation requirement for legumes in the E and F inoculation groups (faba bean, lentil, field pea and vetch) can be measured using PREDICTA rNod provided by SARDI through PREDICTA® B accredited agronomists. Tests for Group G and S, and N are under development.

PULSE MARKET OVERVIEW
Nick Goddard - Pulse Australia
While Canada bakes, Australia glows. 2021 has been another very strong season for for most of our pulse crops, with lentils being the standout in terms of prices and grower returns. While not wanting to gloat over someone else’s misery, the dire climatic situation across North America has provided Australian lentil growers with an unexpected bonus and impacted global trade flows across all pulses. The shortage of peas and lentils from Canada has also impacted supply lines in India and has led to price inflation in the Indian pulse market. As a result, the Indian Government has eased some of the tariff constraints applied to Australian lentils to encourage trade and reduce supply constraints. However, while this move by the Indian Government does encourage the supply of stored lentils from last year’s harvest, there is no indication from the Indian Government that the tariff reduction will extend to enable new crop lentils to benefit.
apparent that shipping lines withdrew capacity at the start COVID last year as global shipping trade, especially ex China, shrank, and despite global commerce essentially returning to normal levels, shipping lines have not, or will not, restore shipping capacity. This has created a significant challenge for the Australian pulse industry in matching the balance between meeting the market prices and channelling these prices to growers, yet with great uncertainty that the export demand can be satisfied. The industry has seen a shift towards bulk shipments for pulses that might otherwise have been exported in containers, which has created its own logistical challenges. The pulse future remains bright. Despite these challenges, the pulse industry prospects continue to grow and look very favourable into the future. Coming out of successive years of drought from 2017-2019 and now with two solid and profitable years now under our belt, the industry is well placed to continue to grow. Pleasingly, the industry is continuing to attract investment into on-shore valueadding, with Unigrain recently announcing its plan to build a pulse fractionation plant at Smeaton, expected to utilise 40,000 tonnes of field peas and faba beans sourced from growers in the Mallee, Wimmera and South Australia. This investment builds on the ongoing investment by Australian Plant Proteins in their pulse fractionation plant in Horsham. The establishment and growth of plant-based food ingredient suppliers such as these, combined with plant-based food manufacturers such as V2foods serves to develop thriving domestic pulse processing industry and beginning to reduce Australia’s reliance on the variabilities associated with many of our export markets.
The extremely dry conditions in North America have also pushed global canola prices to unprecedented levels, with global supply chains for both lentils and canola unlikely to be completely restored in 2022. Consequently, prices for both these commodities can be expected to remain firm coming into the 2022 season, creating some important rotation and disease pressure considerations for growers next year. Shipping constraints providing an unwanted handbrake. Despite the generally good season for Australian pulses, and firm global demand, the challenge for this harvest will be securing sufficient affordable shipping, particularly for container trade. Exporters have struggled all year to meet export orders due to the extreme shortage of shipping containers and unprecedented vessel and stevedoring charges. It seems
