OBJECTIVES: To evaluate dry pea, lentil and chickpea lines for grain production potential in dryland
environments.
METHODS: The Western Regional Dry Pea Trial consisted of 14 smooth green and smooth yellow dry
pea lines from the USDA-ARS breeding program at Pullman, Washington, along with Majoret green and
Delta yellow peas as checks (Table 1). The Western Regional Lentil Trial consisted of 19 lentil (6
commercially separate types: Laird, Brewer, Chilean, Turkish, Eston and Pardina) lines from the USDAARS program, along with five checks; Brewer, CDC Richlea, Crimson, Eston and Pardina (Table 1). The
Western Regional Chickpea Trial consisted of eight Café and White kabuli-type and one desi-type USDAARS breeding lines, as well as Dwelley, Sierra and Myles chickpeas as checks (Table 1). The trials were
seeded no-till into chemical fallow barley stubble on May 3, 2005 (Table 2). Additional trial production
methods can be found in Table 2.
RESULTS: Due to wet conditions in late April, the trials were seeded later (May 3rd) than desirable. As a
result, yields were significantly depressed. Grain yields are reported as both harvest moisture and 12%
moisture equivalent.
Dry Pea Grain Yields (at 12% moisture) averaged 1,214 lbs of dry pea production per acre at 12 (Table
3). Delta yellow pea had the highest grain production (1,474 lbs acre-1) but was only significantly different
from seven of the lines evaluated (based on LSD(0.05)). Kernel Weights: The average dry pea seed size
for the trial was 205.4 g 1,000 kernels-1 and the average test weight was 63.3 lbs bu-1 (Table 3). The
yellow pea selection PS0010836 had the largest seed size (234 g 1,000 kernels-1), but was only
significantly larger than six other lines. Majoret green pea had the highest test weight (64.8 lbs bu-1), but
was only significantly higher than lines PS810162 and PS0110460 smooth green peas. Plant Heights:
Delta yellow pea had the tallest grain maturity plant canopy height (42.0 cm) but was not significantly
taller than Majoret, line PS00110827, line PS0010804, line PS011085, and line PS0110745 green peas
(Table 3).
Lentil Grain Yields (at 12% moisture) averaged 825 lbs of lentil grain production per acre (Table 4). The
Turkish-type line LC01602062T red lentil had the greatest production (951 lbs acre-1), but was only
statistically different from two other entries. Kernel Weights: Seed size among the lines tested ranged
widely (28.0 to 73.3 g 1,000 kernels-1) and averaged 48.0 g 1,000 kernels-1 (Table 4). The Laird-type lentil
lines LC99602075L and LC860616L were the largest (73.3 and 72.3 g 1,000 seeds-1, respectively). The
test weight averaged 62.0 lbs bu-1. The Turkish-type line LC01601751T had the heaviest test weight (65.3
lbs bu-1), but was not statistically heavier than the Eston-type line LC02600698E and Pardina-type line
LC01602245P. Plant Heights: Laird-type lines LC99600747L and LC99602075L had the tallest grain
maturity canopy height (33.0 and 31.0 cm, respectively) (Table 4).
Chickpea Grain Yields (at 12% moisture) averaged 509 lbs of grain production per acre (Table 5.).
Sierra kabuli-type chickpea produced the most grain (705 lbs acre-1), but was only significantly more than
Dwelley, line CA0190B839C and line CA9890233W. Kernel Weights: A large variation in 1,000 seed
weights exists and the trial averaged 369 g 1,000 kernels-1. Test weights averaged 52.9 lbs bu-1 (Table
5.) with the Café, Kabuli-type line CA0090B347C weighing the most (58.4 lbs bu-1), but was only
significantly (based on LSD0.05) greater than CA0090B015W and CA0190B839C. Plant Heights: The
average canopy height of the trial was 33.0 cm (Table 5.). The Desi-type line CA0090B659D and Cafétype line CA0190B839C had the highest canopy heights at harvest (42.0 and 39.5 cm, respectively).
FUTURE PLANS: Western Regional dry pea and lentil trials will continue at Moccasin.
