As the foundation of the land grant mission at Montana State University, the College of Agriculture and the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station provide instruction in traditional and innovative degree programs and conduct research on old and new challenges for Montana’s agricultural community. This integration creates opportunities for students and faculty to excel through hands-on learning, to serve through campus and community engagement, to explore unique solutions to distinct and interesting questions and to connect Montanans with the global community through research discoveries and outreach.

Item Evaluation of Fall Seeded Winter Pea and Lentil Line Performance (Western Regional Winter Dry Pea and Lentil Evaluation Trials) (2008)(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2008) Wichman, David M.; Chen, Chengci; Neill, Karnes E.; McPhee, K.; Short, R.W.; Vavrovsky, JoeThis paper evaluates winter hardiness of fall seeded winter dry pea and lentil lines. A difference in spring stand (visual evaluation) amongst the winter pea lines was exhibited, with Granger Austrian winter pea having the best stand, but was significantly similar to five other lines (Table 3). Upon visual observations, large differences in winter survival among the winter lentil lines were observed (Table 4). Turkish-type (“T”) lines LC02600449T and LC03600295T had the poorest spring stands with an average score of 1.6 and 1.8 (out of possible of 5), respectively.Item Western Regional Dry Pea, Lentil and Chickpea Trials (2007)(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2007) Wichman, David M.; Chen, Chengci; McPhee, K.; Muehlbauer, F.J.; Neill, Karnes E.; Short, R.W.; Vavrovsky, JoeThis paper evaluates dry pea, lentil and chickpea lines for grain production potential in dryland environments. Dry pea grain yields averaged 1,422 lbs of dry pea production per acre (Table 3). Delta smooth yellow pea had the highest grain production (1,627 lbs acre-1) but was not significantly higher than eight other pea lines (based on LSD(0.05)). Lentil yields were suppressed and may have been due to a growing nematode problem in adjacent fields (not confirmed in field trial established). The trial averaged 955.1 lbs per acre (Table 4). The “Brewer”-type lentil, Merrit, produced the most seed, averaging 1128.0 lbs acre-1, but was not statistically higher (based on LSD0.05) than eight other lines. Chickpea grain yields averaged 758.5 lbs of grain production per acre (Table 5.). Dylan kabuli-type chickpea produced the most grain (978.8 lbs acre-1), but was significantly similar to line CA0090B347C (based on LSD0.05).Item Evaluation of Fall Seeded Winter Pea and Lentil Line Performance (Western Regional Winter Dry Pea and Lentil Evaluation Trials) (2007)(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2007) Wichman, David M.; Chen, Chengci; Neill, Karnes E.; McPhee, K.; Short, R.W.; Vavrovsky, JoeThis paper evaluates winter hardiness of fall seeded winter dry pea and lentil lines.

Due to wet conditions in late April, the trials were seeded later (May 3rd) than desirable. As a result, yields were significantly depressed. Grain yields are reported as both harvest moisture and 12% moisture equivalent.Item Evaluation of Fall Seeded Winter Pea and Lentil Line Performance (2005)(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2005) Wichman, David M.; Chen, Chengci; McPhee, K.; Muehlbauer, F.J.; Neill, Karnes E.; Short, R.W.; Vavrovsky, JoeThis paper evaluates winter hardiness of fall seeded winter dry pea and lentil lines. All winter pea lines exhibited good winter hardiness, having a spring stand of 7.1 plants ft-2 or 95% of the target seeding rate (7.4 plants ft-2; Table 3). No differences were observed among the winter pea lines. The winter lentil lines exhibit slightly poorer winter survival than the winter pea lines. The trial had an average spring stand of 9.8 plants ft-2 or 89% of the target seeding rate (11.1 plants ft-2; Table 4).Item Western Regional Dry Pea, Lentil and Chickpea Trials (2004)(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2004) Wichman, David M.; Chen, Chengci; McPhee, K.; Muehlbauer, F.J.; Neill, Karnes E.; Short, R.W.; Vavrovsky, JoeThis paper evaluates dry pea, lentil and chickpea lines for grain production potential in dryland environments. Despite receiving 74% of the normal crop-year precipitation (April-August), pulse crop yields were higher than in recent years. This rise in yields is attributed to early seeding (April 7th), being seeded into fallow soil conditions, timely precipitation events and cool summer temperatures.Item Phosphorous Fertilizer for Pea, Lentil, and Chickpea – 2004 Progress Report(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2004) Chen, Chengci; Jackson, G.; Neill, Karnes E.; Wichman, David M.; Miller, John H.; Vavrovsky, JoeThis paper investigates fertilizer P response in pea, lentil, and chickpea in central and north central low P soils; fertilizer P effects on spring type pea, lentil, and chickpea seedling vigor and seed quality; and fertilizer P effects on winter type pea and lentil winter survival and seed and hay quality. Both winter and spring type legumes produced good yields this year at the CARC site. However, the yields were low at the Cut Bank site due to drought. The chickpea trial was abandoned.Item Evaluation of Fall Seeded Winter Pea and Lentil Line Performance (2004)(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2004) Wichman, David M.; Chen, Chengci; McPhee, K.; Muehlbauer, F.J.; Neill, Karnes E.; Short, R.W.; Vavrovsky, JoeThis paper evaluates winter hardiness of fall seeded winter dry pea and lentil lines. All winter pea lines exhibited good winter hardiness, with the trial having an average of 106% survivability (Table 3). No differences were observed among the winter pea lines. The winter lentil lines did not exhibit good winter survival as the trial averaged only 69.8% survival (Table 4). Line LC9978094 had the highest survival rating (88.5%), but was not significantly higher than lines LC9979120, WA8649041 and LC9978057.Item Western Regional Dry Pea and Lentil Trials (2003)(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2003) Wichman, David M.; Chen, Chengci; McPhee, K.; Muehlbauer, F.J.; Neill, Karnes E.; Short, R.W.; Vavrovsky, JoeThis paper evaluates dry pea and lentil lines for grain production potential in Central Montana's dryland environment. Despite receiving more than three-times the monthly average precipitation in April, crop year (April through August) precipitation was 85 percent of normal (8.73 inches vs. 10.24 inches), as severe drought like conditions continued in Central Montana. A severe infestation of grasshoppers plagued Central Ag. Research Center (CARC). These factors, coupled with the late seeding date (May 7th), resulted in much below normal pulse grain yields.Item Phosphorous Fertilizer for Pea, Lentil, and Chickpea (2003)(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2003) Chen, Chengci; Jackson, G.; Neill, Karnes E.; Wichman, David M.; Vavrovsky, JoeThis paper investigates fertilizer P response in pea, lentil, and chickpea in central and north central low P soils; investigates fertilizer P effects on spring type pea, lentil, and chickpea seedling vigor and seed quality; and investigate Fertilizer P effects on winter type pea and lentil winter survival and seed and hay quality. Due to the summer drought this year, like other spring crops, pea and lentil and chickpea yielded lower than normal years and fertilizer P effects on yield was minimal under such conditions. Further study is needed to test yield response to fertilizer P in central Montana in normal climatic conditions.
