Aims

To assess the advantages of new lentil varieties with current standards and a field pea at different sowing times and on varying soil types.

Key messages
  • Lentil varieties yielded similarly in varying soil types and at different times of sowing.
  • New early maturing lentil varieties PBA Flash (3.6 t/ha) and PBA Blitz (3.57 t/ha) were highest yielding.
  • Lentils were equal or higher yielding than PBA Gunyah field peas under favourable conditions in 2010.
