The effect of sowing dates and rates on lentil yield components.

Krarup A.H.

The effect of 60-100 kg/ha seed rates and five different spring sowing dates on lentil yield components were studied in Chile. Lentils sown from mid-August to mid-September gave the highest yields. The mean yield was 1717 kg/ha, but the yield/ha was not affected by the seed rate. High yield/plant was associated with a high number of branches and pods/plant. These three characters - pods, branches, and yield/plant -varied greatly, in marked contrast to the stable traits: average seed weight and seed number/pod.
