Episode Details

GRDC’s investment in faba bean breeding has contributed to the delivery of new and improved Faba bean varieties to grain growers.

In Western Australia’s Esperance Port Zone the high rainfall makes Faba beans a suitable legume to include in crop rotations and WA’s Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development senior research scientist Mark Seymour has been working with growers to make the most of the benefits a pulse in the rotation can bring to cropping systems.
