Full textAbstract:
Cultivation of lentils had ended by mid-20th century in Germany, but a revival was initiated in the first decade of this millennium in Southwest Germany. However, knowledge of lentil cultivation was almost lost, and today’s yields are still low. To gain an overview of current farm practices and of factors that can help lentil cultivation thrive, 25 lentil farmers (21 organic, 4 conventional) from SW Germany answered questionnaires for agronomic data on lentil cultivation in the years 2015, 2016, and 2017. Eleven farmers took part in additional semi-structured interviews about their motivation and the most important factors (economic, ecological, and social) that encouraged them to grow lentils. Neither the lentil variety (Anicia, Späth’s Alblinse I and II), nor the companion crop for the usual mixed cropping (spring barley, oat, and camelina), significantly influenced lentil yield. If lentil cultivation is to further expand, data from more farmers could be evaluated and factors that contribute to crop thriving analyzed more clearly. The cultivation techniques currently practiced are diverse, and lentils integrate well into existing structures. Farmers appear motivated to grow lentils by good examples of colleagues, by availability of marketing channels, and by the desire to promote lentils’ ecological and social benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Lentil is an important legume crop that is a safe source of high-quality dietary protein. Mostly fungal diseases are considered an important constraint of Lentil. Blight disease caused by Ascochyta lentis is an important disease caused by Aschochyta lentis. Samples from diseased plants were collected, and the pathogen was isolated on artificial media. After purification, the pathogen was indentured based on the growth pattern, colony shape, and spore structure. There is very fewer germplasm of Lentil available in the country. The current study shows 12 lentil genotypes (11504,12512,12514, M-09501, Pb-m-2009, M- 93,12505,12503,11507,11509,10503, M-85) were screened against Ascochyta lentis by following RCBD under natural and artificial disease conditions. Agronomic, morphological and physiological data were recorded from field trials. Fungicides were diluted into different concentrations and were used to inhibit the growth of A. lentis under in-vitro conditions. Similarly, BCAs were also screened against A lentis on artificial media plates and were utilized in field conditions to manage the disease. Keywords: Ascochyta lentis, Biocontrol agents, Disease resistance, and Lentil blight.

Full textAbstract:
Fusarium wilt (caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis) is the most crucial limiting variable for decreasing yield levels of lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.) around the world. A set of 20 diverse lentil genotypes comprising breeding lines and released varieties was evaluated, along with susceptible controls, for resistance to fusarium wilt through natural incidence for two continuous years (2010–11 and 2011–12) in six diverse lentil-growing environments in India. Analysis of variance showed that the effect of genotype (G) and environment (E) for disease incidence was highly significant. Among the three sources of variation, the biggest contribution in disease occurrence was accounted for by environment (54.68%), followed by G × E interaction (17.32%). The high G × E variation necessitated assessment of the genotypes at different locations (environments). GGE biplot analysis of the studied genotypes revealed that genotype PL 101 and released cultivar L 4076 had low levels of disease incidence. The sources of resistance to fusarium wilt have great potential for use in lentil-breeding programs. Another biplot of relationships among environments demonstrated that, among the test locations, Sehore and Faizabad, were the most effective for differentiation of genotypes. On the basis of discriminating ability and representativeness, the Sehore location appeared an ideal testing site for natural incidence of F. oxysporum f. sp. lentis.

Aim. The research aimed to assess fungal infection of lentil seeds and to identify the most common diseases of this crop, which was grown by organic agricultural enterprises in the forest-steppe zone of the Poltava region. Identification of the species composition of disease-causing agents will enable the development of protective measures against certain diseases in the conditions of organic agriculture. Methods. In recent years, the area under lentil cultivation in our country reaches 20,000 hectares [1]. According to forecasts of «UkrAgroConsult», in the 2022–2023 season, there will be a significant reduction in the production of lentils and chickpeas, because the main areas of cultivation of these crops are in the south of Ukraine [2]. Results. Lentil diseases can cause a significant reduction in yield and quality. Most major economically important diseases are found in all lentil-growing regions. The species composition of the mycobiota and the infectious load are essential factors that determine the quality of grain and the susceptibility of plants to diseases in the field. Field, phytopathological, and mycological methods were used in the research process. Over the years of research, it was found that plants are most affected by diseases in the flowering phase, especially after heavy rains. Conclusions. Mycological analysis of contamination of lentil seeds revealed the presence of different types of fungi in the mycobiota: Penicillium, Mucor, Trichothecium, Fusarium, Alterneria. Representatives of penicillous, mucoral fungi, and Trichothecium roseum were the most common among those detected. As a result of the studies conducted in 2017-2018 on the identification of the species composition of fungi on the Linza lentil variety, 8 isolates of fungi were isolated and identified from 556 pure culture samples: Fusarium oxysporum f. ciceri Schlecht, F. culmorum Sacc., F. avenaceum Sacc., Alterneria alternata (Fr.) Keissl, Pythium ultimum, Stemphylium botryosum, Rhizoctonia solani, Ascochyta lentis. The dominant species parasitizing lentils on all parts of the plant was Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.lentis.

The purpose of the study is to develop a technology to prepare scalding with the addition of raw materials from lentils to improve quality. Objectives: to scientifically substantiate the choice of lentils for use in scalding, develop technology and determine the organoleptic and physico-chemical parameters of the semi-finished product. The objects of research are lentils, lentil flour, scalding. Lentil flour is obtained by fine crushing on a hammer mill, scalding from lentils are pre-soaked in water at a ratio of 1:2. Physical and chemical indicators of lentil flour are within the normal range, flour moisture content is 14 %, grinding size is 60 %, metal-magnetic impurities are 1.1 mg/kg, pest infestation is absent. Lentil is the most important source of a complex of biologically active substances, has a multifunctional chemical composition. In terms of protein content, lentils exceed peas and beans by 2.6 and 6.1 %, respectively, and their digestibility by the body is higher than other legumes. The fatty acid composition is represented by oleic (16.24 %), linolenic (36.75 %) acids. One of the ways to increase the biological value of proteins is its sprouting. The protein content in lentils is 32.3 %, the carbohydrate content is 17.2 %. Preparation of scalding using lentil flour allows you to speed up the fermentation of the dough and slow down the staleness of the finished product in the future. In terms of organoleptic characteristics, scalding using lentils fully comply with the requirements for scalding, have a brown color, taste corresponds to lentils without a bitter aftertaste. The consistency is thick without inclusions, there are no foreign odors. The moisture content of the obtained semi-finished product from lentil flour is 82%, which is within the norm.

Full textAbstract:
Isolates of Ascochyta fabae from faba bean (Vicia faba) and A. lentis from lentil (Lens culinaris) collected from different countries were used in this study. The Didymella teleomorph (sexual state) of each fungus was induced to develop and mature on inoculated sterile lentil stems. Both fungi were heterothallic, with two mating types, designated MAT1-1 and MAT1-2. When certain isolates of A. fabae and A. lentis were crossed, hybrid pseudothecia developed. Growth, sporulation, colony appearance, morphology, and pathogenicity of the hybrid progeny frequently differed greatly from the parent isolates. Inoculations with single-ascospore progeny from matings among compatible isolates of A. fabae caused disease in faba bean but not in lentil; inoculations with single-ascospore progeny from matings among compatible isolates of A. lentis incited disease in lentil but not in faba bean. Inoculations with single-ascospore progeny from crosses between faba bean and lentil isolates did not induce disease in either host. Asci from crosses between A. fabae and A. lentis mostly contained fewer than eight ascospores that were, on average, larger than those from eight-spored asci. Matings among certain isolates of A. fabae resulted in production of pseudothecia with ascospores considerably larger than is typical for D. fabae. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) banding patterns of Ascochyta isolates from faba bean and lentil are clearly different, and banding patterns from hybrid progeny from crosses between A. fabae and A. lentis confirmed hybridity. RAPD markers proved useful in supporting identifications of ascospore isolates from faba bean to known Ascochyta species. Dendrogram analysis indicated similarity between the two fungal species was low. The pathogenicity tests, morphological characteristics, and RAPD markers indicate that A. fabae and A. lentis represent distinct taxa. D. lentis, with its anamorph, A. lentis, is proposed as a new species that is distinct from D. fabae, with its anamorph, A. fabae.

Full textAbstract:
Lentils represent a promising alternative for beer production, potentially offering unique benefits and challenges. This study investigates the physicochemical properties of brewer’s wort derived from both barley and lentil grains. Specifically, it compares worts produced from raw and malted lentils, with and without the addition of amylase and protease enzymes. Key parameters such as filtration and saccharification times, pH, extract content, color, turbidity, polyphenol content, free amino nitrogen (FAN), nitrogen content, and metal ion and sugar composition were meticulously measured. Results indicate that both raw and malted lentils can be utilized to produce brewer’s wort, with the malting process enhancing extract levels. Notably, the addition of amylolytic enzymes resulted in the highest extract levels for both lentil types. Lentil-based worts exhibited significantly higher FAN levels and lower turbidity compared to barley malt worts. Despite barley malt’s established advantages in saccharification efficiency, filtration, and extract yield, lentils offer distinct benefits such as elevated FAN levels and unique color profiles. Enzyme treatments play a crucial role in optimizing lentil-based wort production, highlighting the potential for lentils in brewing applications.

Full textAbstract:
This study evaluated the sensory properties of uncooked and cooked milled lentils that were fortified with varying concentrations of Fe and Zn in the form of NaFeEDTA and ZnSO4.H2O, respectively. Our study was carried out among 196 lentil consumers residing in rural Bangladesh who experience with growing, processing, and marketing lentils. A nine-point hedonic scale was used to rate the appearance, odor, taste, texture and overall acceptability of three uncooked and two cooked lentil (dal) samples made from each of the three milled lentil product types (LPTs), red football, red split and yellow split. Preferences for sensory properties were found to be significantly different among all uncooked lentil samples, but not significantly different for cooked samples, with a few exceptions. This means that the fortification process minimally affects dual-fortified lentil sample (fortified with 16 mg of Fe and 8 mg of Zn per 100 g of lentil), which was compared to another cooked sample (unfortified control), in terms of consumers liking for all four attributes (appearance, odor, taste, and texture).

Production and processing of lentil as a valuable leguminous crop with a high content of beneficial nutrients (fiber, protein, minerals and vitamins), a low glycemic index, and a low-calorie content (295 kcal per 100 grams of raw lentils) has great potential for domestic economy. The world market of lentil is analyzed, prospects for increasing the level of its use in domestic markets are identified. An evaluation of the crop processing by an extrusion method is given. The statistical data of the Federal State Statistics Service, the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, information materials of Russian and foreign research organizations and companies are studied. The methods of complex structural-dynamic analysis and the expert-analytical method of data processing are used. It is found that lentils contain the largest amount of protein among the rest of the plants, which is a source of essential amino acids (isoleucine and lysine), and that the use of this crop in feed production along with soya bin is promising and appropriate. Based on the analysis of gross yields of lentil in federal districts of Russia in 2010-2019 and export supplies of the crop revealed that the domestic lentil export market expanded 6.1 times, but the country’s lentil consumption decreased 1.18 times. Thus, in the current economic conditions, the issue of finding the use of lentils as a raw export product and expanding the potential for using lentils in the domestic market is relevant. It is proposed to expand the possibilities of using lentils by extruding it, which will allow to have high quality products with good biological value and consumer properties on the domestic market.

Full textAbstract:
Technique of malting legume seeds is not currently widespread among scientists as well as industrial maltsters. However, this method of seed modification is successfully used by humankind for millennia to improve technological parameters, as well as change taste and aroma of various food products. Three lentil cultivars (black, brown and green) were malted (steeped, germinated for three various time periods and then kilned) to produce nine lentil malts. Malting had significant influence on the volatile composition of lentil seeds. Total concentration of volatiles in the green lentils increased and decreased in the case of black and brown lentils after malting procedure. However, most importantly, in every lentil cultivar the contribution of various groups of compounds (such as aldehydes, alcohols, terpenes or ketones) to the overall volatilome was changed due to the malting procedure.

Full textAbstract:
Two trials were conducted from 1996 to 1999; one at Indian Head, SK, to examine the impact of tillage management on the severity of ascochyta blight of lentil, caused by Ascochyta lentis (teleomorph Didymella lentis), and a second at Saskatoon, SK, to assess the impact of crop rotation. In 1995, the blight-susceptible lentil cv. Eston was seeded across both sites and later inoculated with blight-infested lentil residue to provide a uniform level of infection. Treatments were initiated in the spring of 1996. Ascochyta blight severity was assessed on each lentil plot during the growing season. Seed quality and yield were assessed each year. A split-block design was used to minimize movement of inoculum among plots over years. In the tillage management trial at Indian Head, the main plot treatments were 0, 1, or 2 yr between lentil crops, with spring wheat as the alternate crop; the subplot treatments were zero-till vs. conventional tillage. Ascochyta blight severity was substantially higher under zero-till than under conventional tillage in the continuous lentil treatment when conditions were conducive to blight development. However, tillage management had little effect on severity when there were 2 yr between successive lentil crops. We conclude that tillage management is unlikely to have an important impact on blight severity, except in rotations with short re-cropping intervals. In the crop rotation study at Saskatoon, the main plot treatments were two rotation sequences and the subplot treatments were three crop species (canola, barley, pea) planted in 1996. Rotation 1 was seeded to cv. Eston in 1997 and barley in 1998; Rotation 2 was seeded to barley in 1997 and cv. Eston in 1998. Both rotations were seeded to cv. Eston in 1999. Also, a plot seeded continuously to cv. Eston was included at one end of each replicate block as a control. Blight was more severe in continuous lentil than in the other crop rotations, and ascochyta blight levels in 1999 were lowest where barley followed the 1996 lentil crop for both Rotation 1 and 2. However, the intervening nonhost crop had little impact on seed infection or seed yield. We conclude that at least two nonhost crops between successive lentil crops are required to substantially reduce inoculum of A. lentis following a disease outbreak. Key words: Didymella lentis, zero-till management, fusarium root rot, Lens culinaris, barley, canola, field pea

Lentil, Lens culinaris (syn: Lens esculenta), is one of the most important annual legumes from the Fabaceae family, which is widely cultivated throughout Asia, Europe, Northern America, Australia, and North Africa. Lentil seeds are mostly used in food industries to produce soups and its fodder is used as livestock feed. Ascochyta blight of lentil (ABL), which is caused by the pathogenic fungus Ascochyta lentis(teleomorph Didymella lentis), is one of the important diseases of this crop worldwide which causes serious damage to it. Resistance of different lentil varieties to this disease is variable. For this purpose, different studies have been performed on resistance in cultivated and wild varieties against this disease; some of them have focused on ecological aspects, others on genetics, and few on pathogen virulence. In this review, we have outlined the advantages of each background along with latest research. The present review, due to its unique characteristics which has been done to our knowledge for the first time, can be considered as valuable regarding the management of this dangerous disease in lentil.

AbstractAnthracnose caused by Colletotrichum lentis is an important fungal disease of lentil in western Canada. Two known pathogenic C. lentis races, race 0 and race 1 have been identified and current cultivars of lentil have little or no resistance to the virulent race 0. Seven Lens culinaris subsp. culinaris landrace accessions were previously reported to have resistance to C. lentis race 0. In this study, accession VIR-2633, with reported resistance to both races of C. lentis, and seven accessions were assessed for race 0 resistance relative to LR-59-81, an interspecific line derived from a L. culinaris subsp. culinaris × Lens ervoides cross. The results showed a lack of effective resistance to race 0 among the tested L. culinaris accessions when compared to that of LR-59-81. A few sublines displayed modest improvements in resistance compared to the susceptible check ‘Eston’, but were significantly more susceptible than LR-59-81. Moreover, screening of the sublines of accession VIR-2633 identified 12 sublines with resistance to race 1, but all VIR-2633 sublines were susceptible to race 0. The study underlined the importance of wild lentil germplasm for broadening the genetic base of cultivated lentil and their usefulness in disease screening experiments as positive checks.

Full textAbstract:
Lentil (Lens culinaris) is a very important nutritious crop, grown, consumed throughout the world due to its high macro and micronutrients contents, including all the minerals. The nutritive components of lentil have several beneficial influences on human health. The current review aims to highlight the present knowledge on the mineral, amino acid, lipids, vitamins and carbohydrate composition of lentils. Thereby, a literature search was conducted using reliable sources: Elsevier, Research gate, Springer, etc to understand the overall nutritive status of lentils. The proximate composition of lentils is similar when compared with other legumes but the seed contains low concentrations of fat, fiber. Lentils supply a reasonably balanced range of all minerals. Lentils contain a number of anti-nutritive factors and these may be controlled either by processing or possibly by plant breeding programs. Anti-nutritive factors are less important In human diets because of cooking and processing which normally occur prior to eating, Lentils have a potential as a protein concentrate and could be processed to produce many products similar to those produced from soya beans. Lentils should be used for a variety of purposes, mainly towards eliminating malnutrition, on the condition of being well-balanced. Lentils should be incorporated either in snacks or while preparing household, school, or hospital meals, particularly in developing countries.

Full textAbstract:
Lentils are one of the most common legume crops used to diversify the cereal-oilseed cropping system in semi-arid environments. Lentils are a major source of protein and fiber for human consumption worldwide. However, the morphological characteristics of lentil plants—such as a short stem and low pod positioning—and complicated combine harvesting methods often result in yield loss. This also increases the susceptibility of a lentil crop to disease and render it less competitive against weeds. As a result, producers have resorted to using pesticides in order to mitigate the effects of weeds and disease. As a consequence, there have been undesirable negative environmental impacts on sustainable agroecosystems. Although land rolling, stubble management, and pesticide usage are common agronomic practices used to increase lentil yield and mitigate the issues associated with its morphology, their comprehensive effects on lentil growth and harvest loss are still not fully understood. In this study, we examined the impact of stubble management, the timing of land rolling, and the application of common fungicides and herbicides on lentil growth and yield. We found that stubble management and the timing of rolling modified lentil morphological structures, and thus impacted lentil yield and seed loss. These results were influenced by environmental factors, such as precipitation during the growing season. Although the results did not show significant interaction between fungicide application and lentil growth and yield, herbicide applications, stubble management, and the timing of rolling, along with common pesticide application strategies tested in our study, showed effects that were dependent on environmental conditions. Based on our results, we concluded that stubble management and the timing of rolling, combined with pesticide applications, can affect lentil seed loss and yield by modifying plant morphology. This was largely influenced by environmental conditions such as precipitation.

Full textAbstract:
In an intensive survey of lentil and chickpea fields and Research Station plots in the Punjab province of Pakistan, more than 6,505 samples were collected and tested for presence of 14 different viruses by the tissue-blot immunoassay (TBIA) procedure (2). All antisera used were virus specific, including those for faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV) (1) and beet western yellows luteovirus (BWYV) (ATCC 647). Counting plants with virus symptoms greatly underestimated virus incidence in lentil crops but was a better guide to virus occurrence in chickpeas. Overall, about 1 in 5 plants of lentil were virus infected with 15% of fields having incidence over 50%. In contrast, levels of infection were mostly low in chickpea. Pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV) followed by cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), both of which are aphid- and seed-borne, were the most abundant viruses in lentils, but also occurred in chickpea. PSbMV incidence was 17% in lentil and 0.1% in chickpea fields, whereas CMV incidence was 1% in lentil and 0.1% in chickpea fields. The other viruses found on both lentil and chickpea were FBNYV, BWYV, chickpea chlorotic dwarf geminivirus, chickpea luteovirus, and alfalfa mosaic alfamovirus. Because of yield losses associated with PSbMV infection, the high levels of infection in lentils are cause for concern. This is the first record of FBNYV and BWYV affecting lentil and chickpea in Pakistan, but their incidence in the fields where they have been detected was low (less than 1%). FBNYV was detected in three of the 33 lentil and two of the 34 chickpea fields surveyed. BWYV was detected in two of the 33 lentil and three of the 34 chickpea fields surveyed. References: (1) A.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing pulse production is one of the national priorities for food and nutritional security of India. In this context, incremental changes in pulse production can play a pivotal role. During 2003–2022, for example, the area under lentil (Lens culinaris L.) registered a decline (2.08%), however; productivity improvement (41.26%) led to the enhancement in its production (by 37%) in the country. This study portrays the temporal trend and patterns of lentil production growth during the period 2003–2022. A substantial growth in imports of lentil from 63.97 thousand tonnes in Triennium estimate (TE) 2003 to 814.20 thousand tonnes in TE 2022 was registered in India. Moreover, the share of lentil imports to total lentil production increased from 6.94% in TE 2002 to 63.24% in TE 2022. Lentil imports exhibited a high annual growth rate (15.83%) and high instability during the overall study period (2003–2022), which was higher than the annual growth rate of imports of overall pulses during the same period. Approximately 0.65 million tonnes of lentils were imported in the year 2022, to meet domestic consumption demands. Canada and Australia accounted for 61% and 36% of the total lentil imports to India in year 2022, while Bangladesh (49.61%) followed by UAE (21.74%) and Nepal (18.33%) were the major export destinations of the total lentil export (2022). The gap between production and consumption, coupled with the changing trade regulations and consumer preferences, contributed to the observed instability in lentil trade in India over the past two decades. Concerted efforts in intensifying the technology transfer, capacity building and convergence of resources among the stakeholders can impact the productivity of lentils, thereby developing strategies for optimizing its import and export dynamics.

Full textAbstract:
This study was conducted to assess the existing socioeconomic and profitability status, as well as the variables affecting lentil production in Pabna district of Bangladesh. Primary data were collected from 90 randomly selected Lentil farmers. Descriptive statistics and cost-return analysis were applied to assess the current condition and profitability of lentil production. The findings showed that the undiscounted benefit-cost ratio was 1.72, indicating that the production of lentils was profitable. The Cobb-Douglas production function was used to estimate the parameters which showed that labor, seed, and fertilizer all had a significant impact on lentil production. Therefore, it would be crucial to use these resources effectively throughout the production of lentils in order to increase producer’s profits. Farmers in the research region faced a number of production-related issues, including severe disease and insect attacks, expensive and poor-quality seeds, lack of training, drought and excessive rains, the high cost of pesticides and insect attacks in storage, etc. So, the government should take actions to make it easier for farmers to obtain critical inputs and provide subsidies to entice more farmers to grow lentils.

The nutritional values of pigeon pea, lentils and chia are factors to consider promoting nutrition and providing healthy alternatives, seeking to improve people's quality of life. The objective of this research was to evaluate the nutritional contribution, physicochemical, sensory and microbiological parameters of a vegetable meat made from pigeon pea and lentils, fortified with chia and vacuum-packed. Quantitative variables (pH, humidity, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, ashes and fiber), qualitative (color, smell, taste and texture) and microbiologicals (total coliforms, molds and yeasts) were evaluated. The treatments were T1 (55 % lentil, 40 % pigeon pea and 5 % chia), T2 (50 % lentil, 45 % pigeon pea and 5 % chia) T3 (40 % lentil, 55 % pigeon pea and 5 % chia) and T4 (control, 50 % lentil and 50 % pigeon pea). 30 experts were considered for sensory acceptance in terms of color, smell, taste and texture. The vegetable meat from pigeon pea, lentil and chia vacuum-packed, had a great nutritional contribution. T3 had the best values of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, ashes, fiber and acceptable values of pH and humidity, being the best treatment. The lentil used in the highest percentage (T3), obtained greater sensory acceptance, presenting better characteristics in terms of color, smell, flavor and texture, demonstrating positive organoleptic properties in the final product. The microbiological analysis performed showed values that are within the provisions of the respective standard.

While specific metabolites of lentil (Lens culinaris L.) seeds and their biological activity have been well described, other organs of this plant have attracted little scientific attention. In recent years, green parts of lentils have been shown to contain diverse acylated flavonoids. This work presents the results of the research on the effect of the crude extract, the phenolic fraction, and seven flavonoids obtained from aerial parts of lentils on oxidative damage induced by H2O2/Fe to lipid and protein constituents of human plasma. Another goal was to determine their effect on hemostasis parameters of human plasma in vitro. Most of the purified lentil flavonoids had antioxidant and anticoagulant properties. The crude extract and the phenolic fraction of lentil aerial parts showed antioxidant activity, only at the highest tested concentration (50 μg/mL). Our results indicate that aerial parts of lentils may be recommended as a source of bioactive substances.

Full textAbstract:
Lentil ( Lens culinaris Medic.) is a pulse crop that belongs to the family Leguminosae . Lentils are rich in proteins, have 18 of the 20 amino acids including all 8 essential amino acids and provide a number of essential minerals and vitamins. Thus, lentils occupy an important place in the human diet, especially in developing countries, as a rich source of protein, vitamins and minerals. Although in many developing countries in Asia rice contributes significantly to human daily energy and nutritional requirements, its amino acid profile shows that rice lacks some essential amino acids. Therefore, given their rich composition of amino acids, lentils could act as an ideal supplement for rice-based diets. Although all red lentils are imported, they are the most widely consumed pulse among Sri Lankans. Red lentil consumption levels are significantly greater in the estate sector where the prevalence of under nutrition is high. Thus, t his review was undertaken to understand the potential role of lentils in the Sri Lankan diet and how lentils can potentially be utilized to meet the nutritional needs of Sri Lankans. The study was based on an extensive literature review and information obtained thro ugh personal interviews with key participants in the red lentil industry of Sri Lanka. It was evident that red lentils are a rich source of nutrients, especially micro-nutrients, but their bioavailability is poor due to the presence of multiple anti-nutritive factors such as protease inhibitors, phenolic compounds and phytates. Although bioavailability of nutrients can be enhanced by changing food processing techniques, fortification and bio-fortification, lentil cooking patterns in Sri Lanka pose difficulties in adopting changed food processing techniques and fortification. Thus, bio-fortification would be the most viable option for enhancing nutrient availability in lentils. Since Sri Lanka does not produce lentils, such initiatives may have to be undertaken in exportin g countries or in collaboration with international agricultural research centres. Any strategic investments in breeding new lentil varieties with high bioavailability would provide exporting countries a unique competitive edge in export markets. Such improvements would meet the nutritional needs, not only of Sri Lankans, but also of mil lions other Asian consumers who face similar nutritional challenges.

Full textAbstract:
Weed control in lentil is difficult because lentil is a poor competitor with weeds and few POST broadleaf herbicides are available. Imadazolinone-tolerant lentils have more herbicide options, but the optimum timing for herbicide application is not known. The critical period of weed control (CPWC) is the period in a crop's life cycle when weeds must be controlled in order to prevent yield loss. The objective of this research was to determine the CPWC for lentil. We made lentil remain weedy or weed-free from 0 to 11 aboveground nodes to investigate the durations of weed interference and weed-free period, respectively. It was found that lentil has a CPWC beginning at the five-node stage and continuing to the 10-node stage. There was an inverse relationship between weed biomass and lentil yield; that is, lentil yield was highest when weed biomass is minimal. We propose that the CPWC begins when weeds start to accumulate significant biomass and ends with crop canopy closure. Therefore, to maximize lentil yields, growers should consider using a POST residual herbicide that can control weeds during the CPWC.

The result of the implemented research is the development of a technology for sprouted lentil (lentil malt) production using cold plasma-treated aqueous solutions. The object of the study was lentil grain. The main technological task is to obtain high-quality lentil malt suitable for producing gluten-free beer and highly nutritious foods. The rationality of using cold plasma-treated aqueous solutions as an intensifier of lentil grain germination process and high-quality lentil malt disinfectant is experimentally proven. It is confirmed that using cold plasma-treated aqueous solutions can accelerate the process of lentil bean moistening by 2 times. The germination indicators of lentils also experienced positive changes, with germination energy increased by 8–16 %, germination capacity by 3–10 %, and sprout length by 12–29 %. An analysis of the amino acid composition of lentil grain and lentil malt was carried out. Thus, the experimental samples had an increased content of amino acids: non-essential by 2.7 %, essential by 3.6 %. There was also an increase in the content of B vitamins (B1, B2, B5, B9), as well as PP and C, which indicates an increased biological value of lentil malt obtained by the presented technologies. In addition, the work noted the steady antiseptic properties of activated aqueous solutions in relation to lentil malt. The intensive technology of obtaining lentil malt can be implemented in the industrial production of malt for the brewing industry. In addition, sprouted lentil beans have health-improving properties and can be used in the production of functional products. The presented technology of lentil bean malting will be in demand in the production of highly nutritious and healthy grain products and fermented beverages

Full textAbstract:
One hundred and sixty-eight 11-week-old laying quails(Coturnix coturnix japonica)were fed one of the following three diets: (1) control: basal diet with no lentil(Lens culinaris L.)byproduct; (2) inclusion of 10% lentil byproduct; (3) inclusion of 20% lentil byproduct. In the recent years, colour sorting machines are used in order to separate red lentils according to their colours. The goal is to select the items which are discoloured, not as ripe as required, or still with hull even after dehulling of lentil seed. During the sorting, a new byproduct called “sorting byproduct” leftover is obtained. The byproduct is cleaner and is of a higher quality than other lentil byproducts. This experiment was conducted to study the effects of the inclusion of different levels of lentil byproduct on laying quail performance. The experimental treatment included 10% or 20% lentil byproduct in the diet, and this was fed to quails aged between 11 and 22 weeks. The inclusion of 10% and 20% levels of lentil byproduct in the diet significantly increased egg production, but feed intake and feed conversion ratio were not significantly affected. Egg weight decreased significantly following the inclusion of 20% lentil byproduct. The inclusion of lentil byproduct in the diet increased the deposition of yellow yolk pigments and decreased malonaldehyde formation in the yolk.

Lentils, a popular foodstuff worldwide, are gaining more interest for their use in alternative diets. In addition, we are observing an ever-growing demand for new raw materials in the malting and brewing industry and an overall rising interest in a low-gluten lifestyle. Therefore, in this study, malt was produced from green lentils and used in both laboratory- and pilot-scale brewing trials. Malted lentils were used as 10% and 20% adjuncts at the laboratory scale, following the Congress mash procedure, and the most important parameters (e.g., filtration time, pH, color, extract, fermentability) of the wort and beer samples were analyzed with a special focus on the concentrations of metal ions (Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Fe) in wort. The production of beer with lentil malt as an adjunct was then scaled up to 1 hl, and several beer parameters were analyzed, including the gluten content and foam stability. The results showed that the gluten content was decreased by circa 35% and foam stability was enhanced by approximately 6% when adding 20% lentil malt. Furthermore, the use of lentil malt reduced the filtration time by up to 17%. A trained panel evaluated the sensorial qualities of the produced beers. Overall, the use of green lentil malt shows promising results for its potential use in brewing.

The article presents the results of a study of agronomic characters of lentil, carried out in the fields of the A.I. Barayev Scientific and production center for grain farming JSC in 2021-2023. The objects of the study were 100 varieties from the genetic collections of lentil from the Institute of Plant Industry, ICARDA and foreign varieties (Turkey, Canada, Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus). The Shyraily variety was adopted as a standard for large-seeded lentils, and the Krapinka variety – for small-seeded lentils. As a result of the research, sources of certain agronomic characters of lentils in the conditions of the Northern Kazakhstan were identified. Hierarchical clustering of the main components based on important agronomic characters revealed the presence of five groups with different breeding values. The most promising in practical and breeding terms are the samples belonging to the first cluster, which exhibit the highest expression of such quantitative characters as optimal yield and seed weight per plant. The second cluster includes productive and earlymaturing samples, while the samples in the third cluster can be used as sources of high protein content. Lentil samples from the fourth and fifth clusters may serve as promising parent material for the development of new lentil varieties.

Goal. To develop an effective system for the protection of crops of lentils from weeds by chemical methods. Objective: to investigate the dynamics of the processes of weed infestation, the species composition of weeds, the structure, number and mass of weeds; to study the factors of the negative impact of weeds on lentil plants in the process of their joint vegetation; search and evaluation in field conditions of the effectiveness of herbicides and their compositions on edible lentil crops.
 Methods. Common and special methods: field — the study of the influence of growing conditions and winter hardiness on the performance indicators of edible lentils; laboratory — determination of quantitative and qualitative signs; statistical — the establishment of mathematical models and statistical dependencies between the studied factors and processes.
 Results. It has been established that with the use of the herbicide Zenkor, 70WG, the consumption rate of 0.6 kg / ha of edible lentil yield was 1.45 t / ha and was the highest in the experience with the use of herbicides.
 Conclusion. Edible lentil weeds are dangerous competitors for life factors of plant crops. The presence of weeds in crops during the entire vegetation can reduce the yield of seeds by 86.7%. For a high yield of lentil seed, reliable protection against weeds is a prerequisite.

This study provides an assessment of nutrients (protein, amino acid profiles, fiber, starch), phenolic content TPC, flavonoid content TFC, and antioxidant capacity through different in vitro methods in 12 legume species (red, green, yellow, brown, and black lentils; mung, pinto, black, and kidney beans; chickpea, soy, and lupin) and hemp. Legumes with a protein content above 30% were black lentil, lupin, and soy. Chickpea, soy, black bean, kidney bean, and mung bean did not have any limiting amino acids. All samples had moderate overall protein quality, except green and brown lentils. Black bean was less digestible (68.1%), while soy, hemp, and red lentil had higher protein digestibility (79.3–84.7%). Pinto bean had the highest TPC (425.19 mg GAE/100 g), comparable with hemp, but the lowest TFC (0.24 mg QE/100 g). Yellow and red lentils showed the lowest TPC (69–85.89 mg GAE/100 g). Mung bean presented the highest concentration of flavonoids (45.47 mg QE/100 g), followed by black lentil (28.57 mg QE/100 g). There were distinct variations in the antioxidant capacity across different legume samples and assays. Pinto bean, hemp, and green lentil had the highest relative antioxidant capacity index, while yellow lentil, red lentil, and chickpea presented the lowest. Dark-colored legume samples showed a higher TPC and a lower antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC and PCL assays), while yellow legumes had less antioxidant capacity (DPPH assay). A high correlation coefficient was observed between TPC and DPPH (r = 0.8133), TPC and FRAP (r = 0.8528), TPC and CUPRAC (r = 0.9425), and TPC and ACL (r = 0.8261) methods. The results highlight large variations in the legume properties and support the exploitation of the nutritional properties of legumes as raw materials for the development of products designed to fulfil modern consumer demands.

Peanuts, lentils, sesame and cowpeas are protein-rich legumes widely consumed in the human diet. However, some so-called allergenic proteins are capable of causing adverse reactions in genetically predisposed individuals. They contain portions consisting of contiguous linear segments of amino acids involved in binding with specific IgE. They also have three-dimensional conformational patterns that crosslink with antibodies from susceptible individuals. In this work, the identity and similarity between certain allergenic proteins of peanut, lentil, sesame and cowpea are studied by global alignment. The latter is carried out on 21 allergenic proteins (7 from peanuts, 3 from lentils, 3 from sesame and 8 from cowpea) using the EMBOSS Needle software which uses the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm and assigns scores to the pairs of amino acids aligned using a specific BLOSUM substitution matrix. For statistical analysis, the dependency test and the chi-square test are used in GraphPad Prism and R-studio.The results show that the overall alignment between allergenic proteins from the same food (Peanut - Peanut, Sesame - Sesame, and Lentil - Lentil) and different foods (Peanut - Lentil, Peanut - Sesame, Lentil - Sesame, Lentil - Cowpea, and Sesame - Cowpea) has low identity and similarity.The overall alignment between the allergenic proteins of the same food (Cowpea - Cowpea) and of different foods (Peanut - Cowpea) shows a strong identity and similarity, relative to the result of the chisquare test. The possibility of cross-reactivity between cowpea and peanut is shown.

Arsenic (As) is a carcinogenic and hazardous substance that poses a serious risk to human health. The present research focused on the transport of As in seven lentil varieties developed by the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) viz., BARI Mashur1, BARI Mashur 2, BARI Mashur 3, BARI Mashur 4, BARI Mashur 5, BARI Mashur 6 and BARI Mashur 7 and the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) in mitigating As phyto-toxicity in them. The transportation of As from soil to root, shoot, and grain was lower after week 13 than in weeks 6 or 10 after lentil seedling emergence. The As accumulation in grains was higher in BARI Mashur 1 than in other test genotypes. Treatment with AMF significantly increased growth and biomass accumulation in lentil genotypes compared to non-AMF plants. Furthermore, AMF effectively reduced As concentrations in roots and shoots of lentil plants grown in 8 and 45 mg kg-1 As-contaminated soils. This study revealed a remarkable variation among the BARI-developed lentil genotypes in terms of As accumulation in plant parts. Treatment with AMF could effectively reduce plant uptake of As and mitigate As-induced phytotoxicity in lentils. The results reveal a great potential of AMF to mitigate As toxicity in lentils caused by the transport of As from soil to the shoot mass and reallocation to grains. This may enable farmers to expand lentil cultivation in As- affected areas throughout the world. Ann. Bangladesh Agric. (2023) 27 (1): 41-56

Full textAbstract:
Protein and yield data were obtained from South Australian and Interstate pea and lentil variety trials conducted between 1986 and 1989, covering 94 pea and 58 lentil genotypes. Crude protein concentration varied significantly across sites and averaged 25.0% in peas and 24.4% in lentils. Protein concentration was not significantly correlated with yield at most individual sites. Minimum protein concentration in peas was 1.6% below the mean of three check cultivars in line RA155, while the maximum was 2.3% above that mean in lines P255-2 and P262-1. In lentils the range was 1.2% above the check mean in ILL5562 and 1.0% below in ILL6017. A further lentil genotype, 'Chilean', was 6.0% above controls, but was inadequately replicated in these trials. Genotypic variation in pea and lentil protein concentration was lower than in many other species, but the lack of correlation between protein and yield suggests that independent selection of both characters during breeding is possible and should be successful without the rate of gain in one trait being reduced by that in the other.

Greenhouse experiments were conducted for two consecutive seasons to investigate the influence of volunteer durum wheat cultivars and density on lentil growth and yield. It is speculated that interference may be severe whenever wheat and lentils are rotated in semi-arid regions. Lentil:durum wheat ratios of 1:0, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:6 were evaluated utilizing two durum wheat cultivars, Hourani and ACSAD 65. The results indicated that wheat interference did not influence lentil growth for the first 80 days after crop emergence, but afterwards, the lentil height, straw and seed yield were affected by the presence of wheat. A 50% reduction in either lentil straw or seed yield was estimated from the interference of a single plant per pot. The semi-tall cultivar Hourani had more adverse effects on lentil growth and yield than the semi-dwarf cultivar ACSAD 65.

Abstract We assessed the prospects of lentil cultivation in the Russian Federation and the most favorable regions for this. The following tasks were set: we assessed the importance of lentils in the country’s economy, identified promising regions for growing lentils, taking into account agronomic and economic conditions. When analyzing suitable regions for lentil cultivation, not only the agrotechnical conditions of cultivation were taken into account, but also economic factors, for example, the proximity and volume of sales markets, including exports. The selection of promising regions for growing lentils was made on the basis of its agrobiological properties, existing cultivation volumes and agro-climatic conditions of the regions of the Russian Federation. The impact of global climate change and the dynamics of lentil cultivation volumes in recent years were taken into account. Canada, as one of the world leaders in growing lentils, is located at the same latitude with the regions of the Saratov and Volgograd regions. In Russia, the Saratov and Volgograd regions are in good soil and climatic conditions for growing lentils. The high gross harvest was the result of an increase in the acreage under lentils, the value of which in 2019 amounted to 274 thousand hectares, which is 3 thousand hectares more than last year. The production of lentils is going on with a noticeable increase, which is due to the significant orientation of the cultivation of this crop for export. According to the AB-center, in 2015, export deliveries of lentils amounted to 7.4 thousand tons; in 2016-17.2; in 2017-64.6 thousand tons, 2018-77.9 thousand tons; 2019 – 79.8 thousand tons. In the course of research, it was found out that lentils play an important role in the national economy of the country. It is determined that the regions of the Saratov and Volgograd regions are the most promising for expanding lentil production both in terms of agro-climatic conditions and economic potential.

Monotony in a gluten-free (GF) diet can be a challenge because of a limited choice of acceptable cereal sources. This study investigates the potential of five types of differently coloured lentils in the development of GF cookies using rice flour as a reference. Raw materials (lentil flours) and cookies were characterised in terms of physicochemical parameters (e.g., crude protein content, total phenolics and flavonoids, antioxidant properties, colour, pH); additionally, geometry, baking loss and texture profile were determined for the cookies. A sensory acceptance test was also conducted to find out consumer preferences regarding rice versus different lentil cookies. Results showed that lentil cookies were superior to rice control in terms of higher crude protein (12.1–14.8 vs. 3.8 g/100 g), phenolic (136.5–342.3 vs. 61.5 mg gallic acid equivalents/100 g) and flavonoid (23.8–75.9 vs. 13.1 mg catechin equivalents/100 g) content and antioxidant capacity (0.60–1.81 vs. 0.35 mmol trolox equivalents/100 g), as well as lower hydroxymethyl-furfural content (<1 vs. 26.2 mg/kg). Consumers preferred lentil cookies to rice ones (overall liking: 6.1–7.0 vs. 5.6, significant differences for red and brown lentils), liking especially their taste (6.3–7.0 vs. 5.5). Depending on the target parameter, whether physicochemical or sensory, these lentil flours can be promising raw materials for GF bakery products.

In the arid conditions of the Russian Federation, an additional source of replenishing protein and improving the quality of the food base can be: grasspea, lentil, chickpea. The article presents the results of the assessment of the nutritional qualities of varieties of grasspeas and lentils of the selection of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution RosNIISK "Rossorgo". The organoleptic characteristics of cereals and flour from grasspea and lentil seeds were revealed. Indicators of technological properties of cereals (cooking time, digestibility and water absorption coefficients) have been obtained. It has been determined that the least amount of time is spent on boiling lentil groats (39-76 min.). For the full-fledged cooking of grasspeas and chickpeas, it took more time (71-125 minutes and 88-150 minutes, respectively). The values of the coefficient of digestibility indicate that cereals with a large coefficient of digestibility, in comparison, give more end products. The study showed that most varieties of grasspeas, lentils and chickpeas can be directly used for food purposes. Keywords: GRASSPEA, LENTILS, CHICKPEAS, GROATS, BOILABILITY, COEFFICIENT

Full textAbstract:
In a context of transition towards plant-based protein diet, a survey aiming to collect the lentil consumer practices in France in 2022 was performed. There were 607 responses to the survey, of which a large majority (556) were lentil consumers. Amongst those, 283 people indicated that they currently eat more lentils than 5 years ago.The questions were related to type of lentil meals, frequency of consumption, type of preparation, storage duration once cooked etc. (Table 1). There were also general questions on age, gender and region. The survey may be used to obtain information on what type of lentils is consumed (and how often) in France, how it is cooked and stored. This information may be then plugged into a food safety risk assessment to refine, for instance, a microbial exposure model.In particular, of the 21 questions asked, four were about possible leftovers and their duration and two about cooling practices for hot meals. This information is crucial for lentils because consumer information about legumes, especially those prepared at home, is still scarce.

Full textAbstract:
Lentil is an essential source of protein, fiber, and other vital nutrients that lower the risk of heart disease, and has enormous health benefits. At global level, India holds second position in lentil production. Considering the given fact, the main focus of this paper is to investigate the instability and growth rates in area, production, and yield of lentil in India. The level of instability in lentil is measured using Cuddy-Della Valle (CDV) instability index, and the growth rates in area, production, and yield of lentil for the investigation period 2000-2021 were measured using compound growth rates (CGRs). The comparative analysis has been made across three periods viz., period-I (2000-2010), period-II (2011-2021), and the overall period (2000-2021). The results of the investigation revealed that, during the overall period, lentil witnessed highest instability in production (i.e., 12.47 %) and least instability in area (i.e., 5.73 %). Moreover, in terms of growth rate, the period-II witnessed significant growth in production (i.e., 1.90 %) and yield (i.e., 2.87 %), as compared to the period-I. Lentil production is very much affected by enormous factors like extreme weather conditions, inefficient farming practices and market fluctuations. Furthermore, lentils are sometimes grown as a secondary crop with less priority as compared to other pulse crops, which is the major reason for instability in lentil. The findings of the investigation could be effectively used by policymakers and scientists for enhancing lentil production, and the creation of trade-related policies.

Full textAbstract:
In May 1997, ascochyta blight incited by Ascochyta lentis Vassiljevsky was observed at an incidence of less than 5% in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) fields in Umbria (Central Italy). Symptoms appeared on leaves and stems as tan spots surrounded by a dark margin. Small black pycnidia that produced a pink exudate containing hyaline, 1 septate, 14.2 to 15.8 × 3.5 μm conidia under high humidity were visible in the center of the spots. The fungus was consistently isolated on potato dextrose agar from diseased leaves or stems. To satisfy Koch's postulates, a conidial suspension (106 conidia per ml) of the fungus was sprayed on leaves of 20-day-old lentil plants (landrace Castelluccio) that were maintained in a humidity chamber for 96 h after inoculation. Lesions resembling symptoms that occurred in the field were observed on plants 3 weeks after inoculation. Symptoms were not observed on control plants sprayed with water. The fungus reisolated from the diseased plants was identical to the original isolates. Based on morphological characteristics of pycnidia and conidia as well as pathogenicity, the fungus was identified as A. lentis. A deep-freeze blotter method (2) was used to detect A. lentis in lentil seeds of 20 local landraces used by Umbrian farmers and two accessions from Canada and Turkey, as well as in seed collected from infected fields. The fungus was present only in the two lentil accessions with an incidence of about 5%. Although the fungus had been isolated from Italian seed germplasm in 1986 (1), this is the first report of ascochyta blight occurring in lentil crops in Italy. The heavy rainfalls that characterize the first stage of lentil cultivation in Umbria are favorable for disease development while hot and dry conditions that usually occur during flowering and maturation prevent the dissemination of inoculum and the infection of the seeds. For these reasons, some Umbrian areas could be more suitable for production of ascochyta-free lentil seeds. References: (1) W. J. Kaiser and R. M. Hannan. Phytopathology 76:355, 1986. (2) T.

Background: Among conventional grains, lentils stand out as a rich source of nutrients, boasting high levels of protein and low levels of carbohydrates. They serve as an excellent meat alternative and are abundant in macronutrients, micronutrients, and bioactive phytochemicals. The red lentil seed coat surpasses other legumes in phenol content, showcasing remarkable antioxidant activity. Recognized as a high-level functional crop, lentils demonstrate efficacy in mitigating various health issues, including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Objective: This study aims to analyze the biochemical and bioactive components, such as proteins and monosaccharides, in selected lentil varieties that thrive in the conditions of the Ararat Valley and hold economic value. The objective is to evaluate their potential as functional foods. Methods: This study was conducted at the Scientific Centre of Vegetables and Industrial Crops in Darakert, Armenia, from 2021 to 2022, and used a block-randomized design with 4 replications. Lentil seeds were planted in mid-May, with proper care and optimal spacing. Harvested in mid-July, lentil fruits underwent biochemical analysis in the laboratory. Investigated lentil varieties included those from ICARDA collection and locally bred ones. Total protein, protein nitrogen, and carbohydrate content were determined using Kjeldahl’s, Bernstein’s, and Ofner's iodometric methods, respectively. Results: The investigation into the biochemical properties of the selected lentil varieties revealed protein levels ranging from 20.5% to 23.9%, non-protein content between 1.2% and 1.6%, and monosaccharides ranging from 6.2% to 6.7%. Conclusions: Economically valuable lentil varieties, both sourced from the ICARDA collection (Flip 2007-12L, Flip 2007-3L, Flip 2007-30L, EP-54, Sell from1767L) and locally bred varieties that are registered in the State Register of Breeding achievements of Armenia (Talini-6, Haykakan88), exhibit high concentrations of key biochemical properties such as proteins, non-proteins, and monosaccharides. When considering their potential as functional foods with various health benefits, these varieties align well with contemporary nutritional trends emphasizing the inclusion of health-promoting ingredients in diets. Further research and development in this area hold the promise of not only expanding the agricultural and culinary landscape in Armenia but also contributing to the broader conversation around nutrition and functional foods around the world.

Full textAbstract:
The advent of improved lentil varieties (ILVs) in the mid-1990s solved the disease problem which almost halted lentil production in Bangladesh. Levels of adoption of ILVs have been documented in the literature, but little is known about their impacts. Applying an instrumental variables regression to data collected from a sample of 1,694 lentil plots and DNA fingerprinting for varietal identification, this study provides estimates of the plot-level impacts of adoption of ILVs in Bangladesh. Model results show that adoption of ILVs is associated with 14.3% (181.14 kg/ha) higher yields and 17.23% (US$169.44/ha) higher gross margins. Since 45% of lentil area is under ILVs, they generated over 8.77 tones (6%) more supply of lentils from domestic sources, saving the country US$8.22 million in imports in 2015 alone. By investing in the generation and scaling of ILVs, Bangladesh and other South Asian countries with similar agro-ecologies can increase production and decrease dependency on lentil imports.

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) was tolerant to trifluralin, ethalfluralin, triallate, metolachlor and metribuzin applied preplant soil incorporated at rates of 1.1, 1.1, 1.7, 2.6 and 0.28 kg (a.i.)/ha, respectively. Chloramben and EPTC applied in a similar manner at rates of 2.0 and 3.0 kg (a.i.)/ha, respectively, injured lentils. Diclofop methyl, sethoxydim, fluazifop butyl, haloxyfop methyl and several experimental grass-specific herbicides were tolerated by lentil but propanil and flam-prop methyl were phytotoxic to this crop. Lentil was also tolerant to tank mixtures of trifluralin and triallate, trifluralin and metribuzin, metolachlor and metribuzin, and sequential treatments of dinitroaniline-type herbicides applied preplant incorporated followed by a post-emergence application of metribuzin or dinoseb. Lentil seed density was reduced by triallate in 1983 and seed size was reduced by flamprop methyl in 1982 and by trifluralin, triallate, metolachlor, EPTC, chloramben, metribuzin and trifluralin + metribuzin mixtures in 1983.Key words: Herbicides, lentil, preplant incorporated, postemergence, seed quality, sequential treatments

Full textAbstract:
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) is an essential pulse crop that is widely grown for its high nutritional value, notably its high protein content, making it an important dietary component for vegetarians and vegans. Despite being the world's fifth most produced pulse, with large contributions from Canada and India, lentil production confronts obstacles such as poor productivity due to limited genetic improvement against biotic and abiotic stresses under rainfed cultivation conditions. Recent advances in lentil genetics and genomics, such as the discovery of genes related to yield, disease resistance, and nutritional content, have boosted breeding efforts to generate improved lentil varieties. The use of contemporary genomic techniques like molecular markers, marker-assisted selection (MAS), genomic selection (GS), and next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has sped up the discovery of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and the production of novel cultivars with superior agronomic characteristics. Databases such as NCBI and ENA, as well as specialized resources like KnowPulse, provide critical genomic data, while the creation of lentil genome assemblies, notably the CDC Redberry variety, has improved our understanding of lentil genetics. These resources help to solve the constraints of traditional breeding, particularly for complex characteristics impacted by genotype-environment interactions, opening the way for more robust and productive lentil varieties. Although the application of advanced tools such as genetic engineering, cisgenesis, and genome editing has moved more slowly in lentils than in other crops, their potential to improve lentil output is encouraging. Recent studies on lentil genomes, together with the creation of increased genetic resources and cutting-edge techniques, offer the ability to overcome production constraints and dramatically increase lentil production and quality throughout the world.
