Aims
  • To investigate the suitability of a range of lentil varieties and breeding lines differing in flowering
    and maturity characteristics for crop-topping/desiccation.
Key messages
  • Results generally showed that earlier maturing lines displayed less yield loss in
    crop-topping treatments than later maturing types.
