Aims
To compare new lentil varieties with older standards and current field pea options.
Key messages
Delaying sowing from 22nd May until 16th June led to an average 0.39t/ha yield reduction in 2012.
Field peas had higher grain yields than lentils at both sowing times and both sites.
At the lower yielding western site earlier maturing lentil varieties outperformed later maturing varieties Nipper and Nugget.
All field peas and field pea blends produced similar grain yields at each site and time of sowing.
