Increasing the Profitability of the Double Break Rotation in the MRZ of WA Wheatbelt through incorporation of an Early Sown High Value Pulse

1. Demonstrate that growing canola (with effective weed control options) followed by a high value legume(with higher economic value) can lead to an effective and profitable double break crop sequence. Thecontribution of an early sowing date versus a traditional sowing date to increase the profitability ofthese crops will also be evaluated.2. Determine the economic value of growing canola followed by a high value legume, and the impact ofthis rotation on the grain yield and profitability of a cereal crop in the first year following the doublebreak crop sequence.
