Trial details

Researcher(s) Jason Brand (DPIVic)
Year(s) 2012
Contributor Southern Pulse Agronomy
Trial location(s) Rupanyup, VIC
Sowing time, MRZ Wimmera (Rupanyup), Victoria locations
Aims
  • To investigate the adaptability of a range of lentil varieties and variety mixes to varying sowing dates.
Key messages
  • Delays in harvest, due to weather condition particularly for early sown treatments, is likely to have resulted in significant yield loss. Despite these limitations, the results indicate the relative yield benefit of the newer varieties across a range of sowing dates and environments.
