Summary in the original language of the document
The 2010
growing season was exceptionally warm and most cultivars performed well, except Sovereign and
Sedley that lodged and matured late. There were significant differences in earliness (P<0.001), the
earliest cultivar being Rosetown (901 GDD to maturity), and the latest Sedley (1214 GDD). There
were no significant differences in yield (P=0.111), the average being 1.49 t/ha. Cultivar Meteor was
the highest yielding with 1.86 t/ha but it lodged, whereas cvs Redbow, Redcoat, Rosetown and
Milestone yielded between 1.5–1.6 t/ha and showed few problems in cultivation, so further
experiments will focus on them. In conclusion, lentil cultivation is feasible in Finland, and further
trials will be run in 2011.
