Title

N. J. Livingston; C. van Kessel; E. de Jong 1988
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Lentils maintained high turgor despite low stomatal conductance.
- Observation Lentils had very low stomatal conductance.
- Observation Lentil leaves maintained high relative water content and survived a long dry spell.
- Observation Wheat displayed little drought tolerance.
- Observation The dryland-to-irrigated dry matter ratio was higher for lentils than wheat and reached 0.71 at harvest.
- Observation Wheat dryland-to-irrigated dry matter ratio was 0.41 at harvest.
- Observation Lentils and wheat had similar water use efficiencies.
- Observation Lentils used more water than wheat because they produced more dry matter.
- Observation High dry matter production in irrigated lentils did not yield high grain yield.
