Datasets on impacts of growing Vetch, lupin, Albus, Field Pea, Lentil, Deshi Chickpea, Kabuli Chickpea, and safflower after Wheat in Medium and Low Rainfall Zones of Western Australia Farming Systems
Abstract
Trials conducted from 2022 to 2027 under the Western Australian Farming Systems (DAW2204-003RTX) project in the medium and low rainfall zones of Western Australia used a systems approach to evaluate diversified farming practices. Datasets collected included grain and hay production, biomass for green and brown manuring, phenology data, crop rotation data, weed and disease control, grain quality and feed nutrient analysis, soil data, and economics studies of farming practices.

Comments
Trials conducted from 2022 to 2027 under the Western Australian Farming Systems (DAW2204-003RTX) project in the medium and low rainfall zones of Western Australia used a systems approach to evaluate diversified farming practices. These trials, located at Chapman Valley, Doodlakine, Lake Grace, Merredin, Northampton, Ogilvie, Wittenoom Hills, and Yuna of Western Australia, involved sowing various crops, including different varieties of vetch, lupin, albus, field pea, lentil, deshi chickpea, kabuli chickpea, and safflower, following wheat. The study focused on optimising crop timing, determining the legacy effects of these crops on subsequent cereal cultivation, and assessing traits beneficial for farming systems. Datasets collected included grain and hay production, biomass for green and brown manuring, phenology data, crop rotation details, weed and disease control outcomes, grain quality and feed nutrient analysis, plant-available soil water and soil mineral nitrogen levels, and economic evaluations of farming practices. This comprehensive data collection aims to enhance understanding of crop performance and its legacy effects across different farming systems and environments in Western Australia.
