Lentil variety evaluation in Victoria locations
Aims

To compare the performance of current and potential new lentil varieties in the Mallee and Wimmera regions of Victoria.

Key messages
  • Paddock selection, disease management, variety selection and marketing are important in maximising profitability from lentils.
  • Nugget has excellent yield potential in the Wimmera. Nugget, Cassab, Digger and Cobber are the best varieties for the Mallee.
  • Cassab, Digger and Nugget are the best varieties where botrytis grey mould is a serious threat and Northfield is the best variety where ascochyta blight cannot be controlled.
