Evaluation of Fall-Seeded Winter Pea and Lentil Cultivars (2003)

Abstract

This paper evaluates winter survival, performance, and yield of winter pea and lentil variety/breeding lines for grain and forage production potentials in Central Montana's dryland environment. Table 3 and Table 4 show winter survival, biomass and seed yield of each variety/breeding line of pea and lentil, respectively. Due to the dry summer in 2003, the yields of pea and lentil were generally low and little difference among the breeding lines of peas. Several lentil breeding lines performed superior than others (Table 4).
