Large-seeded crops can produce varying grain quality outcomes under different environmental, management, and handling conditions. Growers and the industry alike need to have accurate sampling technology and methods at the point of receival to reduce business costs, risks and uncertainty. Growers have questioned the consistency and accuracy of the current sampling probes, particularly for larger pulse seeds such as chickpeas and faba beans.
This project seeks to understand the accuracy of current technology for larger seeded pulses and aims to provide either:
a) Confidence in the current technology and protocols; or
b) Identify inaccuracies and recommend potential new sampling technology design(s) and/or protocols for potential adoption by industry that benefit all industry stakeholders.
