Pulse Breeding Australia: Lentil Breeding

This investment in lentil breeding will deliver superior new varieties with increased reliability and profitability for lentil growers. The specific traits of high priority include: higher yielding mid and early maturing disease resistant red lentils, superior imidazolinone tolerant lentils and new germplasm that provides higher botrytis grey mould (BGM) and ascochyta blight disease resistance and higher boron and salinity tolerance.
