To investigate the adaptability of a range of lentil varieties and breeding lines, specifically on the more acidic soils of the Dookie region.
This trial was sown to showcase the growers, the viability of growing lentils in the region and evaluate varietal performance in the local conditions at Dookie 2019.
Older varieties like PBA Jumbo and PBA Jumbo2 were the top yielding varieties in a region where lentils are not traditionally grown. Yields were very good (1.21-1.97 t/ha), considering the very dry finish at Dookie.
