Several different pulse crops are showing promise in less-traditional growing regions such as the low-rainfall area of the Victorian Mallee. Results from the GRDC-funded Southern Pulse Agronomy program, led by Agriculture Victoria senior research agronomist (pulses) Dr Jason Brand, indicate that newer varieties of pulse crops have improved adaptability to variable Mallee soils.
Dr Brand has been investigating best practice agronomy in the low-rainfall zone (LRZ) for lentils, chickpeas, field peas and faba beans. He says his work with lentils has attracted the most interest from growers due to the crop’s booming popularity, largely thanks to favourable pricing.
“In those lower-rainfall areas, yields only need to be between 0.5 to 0.75 tonnes per hectare for lentils, based on long-term gross margins

Pulse plants are normally resistant to draught, they use less water to grow and mature early, the reason as to why people in places with low rainfall prefer them is because they ere favored the amount of rainfall experienced in this areas, this ensures survival and food security to people living in such areas.
