Abstract

Pod shattering in lentil which is vital plant of dry lands is a crucial feature for high yield. Selection of lentil variety is very important in order to reduce pod shatter. Some of lentil varieties are very productive; however, shattering loss decreases profitable yields. In this study, reduction of pod shatter in lentil varieties was investigated with application of polymer cyclohexane compounds. An experiment was conducted with split-split-plot experiment design with two lentil varieties ('Firat-87' and 'Cagil'), two application time (podset and 15 days before harvest (DBH)) and three application doses (0, 0.5, 2 l.ha-1) as triplicate during two years. Effects of application time on podset were found statistically insignificant and application of 0.5 l.ha-1 dose was found effective for 15 DBH application time. As a result, 0.5 pod shatter polymer cyclohexane and 15 DBH was found as optimum doses and application time, respectively in order to reduce pod shatter loss by nearly 1% for semiarid region of Turkey.
