Evaluation of Fall Seeded Winter Pea and Lentil Line Performance (2005)

Abstract

This 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).
