Aims

To report on lentil disease management x time of sowing, Paskeville and Maitland, Yorke Peninsula, SA

Key messages
  • Early sown lentils consistently out-yielding those sown later, as the heat wave event in early
    November compromised yield of late sown lentil crops by terminating seed fill prematurely.
  • The 2009 data was inconclusive in determining whether foliar fungicides for BGM control
    can be delayed until after the canopy closure stage in situations where conditions are not
    conducive for disease development at canopy closure (ie less than 10oC at night and 18oC
    during the day).
  • The rapid finish to the season favoured early maturing varieties PBAFlash and CIPAL610 at
    both sites, averaging 5-32% above site means across sowing dates.
  • Canopy closure sprays with follow up sprays dependent upon disease observation were
    successful in reducing BGM in all varieties tested at Paskeville, even at the early sowing
    date.
