| Abstract: | Key findings •• A favourable growing season in 2016 produced results that supported previous work showing the importance of sowing within the recommended sowing window. •• No significant yield difference was found when lentil was sown on 6 May and 17 May, when averaged across varieties. •• Delay in sowing from 6 May to 2 June resulted in a 34% yield reduction and from 17 May to 2 June a 26% yield reduction across varieties. •• PBA Hurricane XT[PBR], PBA Jumbo2[PBR] and PBA Ace[PBR] were the highest yielding commercial varieties, when averaged across sowing times. •• The results from this experiment indicate the importance of sowing within the recommended sowing window to maximise the height from ground level to bottom pod to maximise the ease of harvest. |
