Sowing time x disease management, MRZ Yorke Peninsula (Paskeville), South Australia locations
Aims
  • To maximise yield of new lentil varieties through the identification of optimum sowing dates and
    disease management strategies.
Key messages
  • Safe application of PSPE herbicides in lentils (metribuzin in this situation) is very reliant on seasonal conditions around the time of sowing. Whilst yield potential is maximised by earlier
    sowing there is increased risk of crop injury from herbicides.
  • Winter and spring seasonal conditions were favourable for lentil production in 2010, and lentil
    yield averaged 3.9t/ha across all varieties.
  • There was no sowing date response for grain yield at this site in 2010. There was only low to
    moderate levels of disease and so earlier sown lentils were not penalised by disease, and later
    sown lentils were able to capitalise on the late rain.
  • Grain weight was equal or higher at the later sowing date for all varieties except Boomer.
