Evaluation of Fall Seeded Winter Pea and Lentil Line Performance (2001)

Abstract

This report evaluates winter hardiness of fall seeded Austrian winter pea, dry pea, and lentil lines. Compared to the winter pea lines, the Austrian winter pea lines tended to have higher winter survivals (not analyzed, Table 35A). Among the winter pea lines, no significant difference in winter survival was observed (Table 35B). Compared with Melrose, line PS9530645 was significantly less winter hardy (based on LSD0.05). Among the winter lentil lines, line WA869041 appeared to have the best winter survival, but was not significantly better than two other lines (Table 35C). Winter lentil line LC9440070 appeared to have the lowest winter survival.
