Abstract | ||||
The new early lentil (Lens cu/inaris Medikus) cultivar Sinai 1, which is a selection from the Argentinean variety Precoz. has developed by lentil breeding program, Food Legume Research Program, ARC, Egypt. Its yield performance and stability was evaluated in 155 various types of yield trials in Egypt during the period from 1995/96 to 2000/2001 seasons in old and new reclaimed lands, and from 1991/92 to 1997/98 seasons in rainfed areas. The seed yield of Sinai 1 exceeded the yield of the wide spread local cultivar Giza 9 by 12.3%, 10.6%, and 70.5% in old lands at North Egypt (Delta region), in new reclaimed lands and in rainfed areas, respectively, while it gave lower seed yield than Giza 9 in old lands at South Egypt. Sinai 1 matured earlier than Giza 9 by 21 days in north, 7 days in south, and 28 days in rainfed areas. Moreover, it showed considerable yield stability and resistance to root-rot and wilt diseases. We recommend to grow Sinai 1 in rainfed and new reclaimed areas and in old lands in North Egypt specially before cotton in cotton rotation farming systems, which may help to expand the cultivated area of lentil in Egypt. | ||||
