To investigate the adaptability of a range of lentil varieties and variety mixes to varying sowing dates.
Key messages
When sown early, grain yields of PBA Ace were significantly greater than all released varieties except Nugget. Earlier maturing varieties like PBA Flash, CIPAL0901 and PBA Blitz, generally have less yield decline at the later sowing dates, but this did not result in higher yields than PBA Ace at the later dates.
