The growth, yield and water use responses of lentils (Lens culinaris Medic.) to irrigation
… relations and the growth and yield responses of lentils (Lens culinaris Medic.) to irrigation were investigated. The cultivars Titore and Olympic were sown in May (autumn) and September (spring) and were grown with or without irrigation in a stony sandy loam. The season was warmer and drier than …

Delayed Protein Complementation with Common Foods Used in the Middle East
… was to determine whether whole wheat and lentils, food staples consumed in the Middle East, will exhibit delayed protein complementation when fed in alternating meals. Lentils are limiting in sulfur containing amino acids, especially methionine, while whole wheat is limiting in lysine, and …

Light Transmission Properties of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Seed Coat and Effect of Light Exposure on Cotyledon Quality
… on the cotyledon color of red, green, and yellow lentils. Twenty samples from each of the three cotyledon color classes were subjected to six levels of light treatment, namely ultraviolet, full-spectrum visible, red, green, blue, and control (dark) for seven days, at room temperature. This light …

Plant to plant variation in harvest index in lentil (Lens culinaris L.) : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Diploma of Agricultural Science in the University of Canterbury New Zealand
… in the harvest index and yield components of lentils (Lens culinaris cv. Titore). Four levels of irrigation were imposed on the lentils. One trial was sown in autumn and the other in spring. The variation in the harvest index in response to sowing date and irrigation was examined. Increased …

Potential for site specific management of Lolium rigidum (annual ryegrass) in Southern Australia.
… and Stones North paddock respectively when the lentils and peas were at the 10-12 node stage and the annual ryegrass was at early-mid tillering. The N-Sensor was used to map annual ryegrass in lentil, pea and canola crops with R² values from 0.15 to 0.88. Poor correlations were related to …

Zinc fertilization of lentil in Saskatchewan to increase yield and grain zinc content
… improving predicted dietary bioavailability of lentils for humans. Phytate:Zn molar ratios were significantly decreased in all lentil cultivars fertilized with soil applied Zn that was chelated with EDTA (17.1) compared to when fertilized with soil applied ZnSO4 (24.7). Overall, the responses of …
