- Observation In 1987/88, mean rainfed lentil biomass was 5.0 t ha -l.
- Observation In 1987/88, mean rainfed seed yield was 1.8 t ha -l.
- Observation In the drier 1988/89 season, mean biomass was 0.67 t ha -1.
- Observation In the drier 1988/89 season, mean seed yield was 0.12 t ha -1.
- Association Early vigour was strongly associated with final biomass.
- Association Percentage ground cover was strongly associated with final biomass.
- Association Early vigour and ground cover predicted economic yield.
- Association Early maturity correlated with seed yield.
- Association Flowering time accounted for 49% of seed yield variation among lines in dry 1988/89.
- Observation Drought escape was identified as the key drought response.
- Recommendation Selection for early flowering is required in severely drought-prone areas.
