Evaluation of a wild lentil collection for resistance to vascular wilt
Vascular wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.lentis Vasud. & Srin. is the major disease of the cultivated lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus). Host plant resistance is the most practical method of disease management. Wild ...
Effect of cutting height on the yield and straw quality of lentil and on a succeeding wheat crop
Lentil (Lens culinaris Med.) seeds are an important source of protein in the human diet, while the straw is widely used as animal feed in the Mediterranean region and West Asia, but production is declining due to the high ...
First sources of resistance to Sitona weevil (Sitona crinitus Herbst) in wild Lens species
Lentil is one of the important cool-season food legumes grown in many countries in the Mediterranean region. But a substantial yield loss is observed every year due to various biotic stresses. The Sitona weevil (Sitona ...
Adaptation of Lentil Seed Yield to Varying Moisture Supply
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) is an important component of ralnfed farming systems in West Asia and North Africa; it is also grown under irrigation in Egypt and Sudan. Our objectives were to determine the adaptation of ...
Characterization of responses to temperature and photoperiod for time to flowering in a world lentil collection
The times from sowing to first flowering (f) of 231 accessions of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), comprising germ plasm from eight countries and breeding lines from ICARDA in Syria, were recorded in four glasshouse ...
Studies on Nematodes of Food Legumes: Progress Report 1984/85
The aim of the investigations reported herein was to focus on biology, host ranges, and control of the most important nematodes of pulses in Syria, their distribution, crop losses assessment, and screening of chickpea and ...
Allozyme and morphological variability, outcrossing rate and core collection formation in lentil germplasm
A survey of qualitative genetic variation at 3 morphological trait loci, 17 isozyme loci and a putative isozyme locus (amylase) was made for 105 lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) germplasm accessions from Chile, Greece and ...
Variability in Lentil Growth Habit
The growth habit of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) is a key trait in the selection of cultivars for a mechanized harvest. We aimed to determine the position of pods on plants, and to assess the variation in plant architecture ...
Variation in lentil straw quality
Seasonal and genetic variation in the potential feeding value of lentil straw, a regionally important sheep feed, was measured in two seasons on eleven diverse macrosperma lentil selections under rainfed conditions in north ...
Splitting and dehulling lentil (Lens culinaris): Effects of genotype and location
Most red‐cotyledon microsperma lentils (Lens culinaris Medikus) are utilised after postharvest processing into split dehulled seed. This study examined the effects on dehulling of 23 diverse genotypes of red‐cotyledon ...
