Description
CDC Sublime (IBC-1264-1) is a high-yielding large red Clearfield® lentil variety. This variety yielded 120% of CDC Maxim in the 2016-18 Lentil Coop trials. Over 4 years of testing in the Co-op and Regional Trials in Saskatchewan, CDC Sublime yielded 116% of CDC Maxim in the brown and dark brown soil zones and 104% in the black and dark grey soil zones (Table 1). CDC Sublime has a red cotyledon with a green seed coat colour making it unique to the marketplace. Maturity and disease resistance characteristics are similar to CDC Maxim. CDC Sublime is taller than CDC Maxim. Seed size is slightly less than current large red lentil varieties however seed thickness is greater (Table 2). Application for PBR’91 protection for CDC Sublime has been submitted. Grading protocols to distinguish red cotyledon lentils with green seed coats from green lentils will be established by the Canadian Grain Commission.
Strengths
- High yield compared to CDC Maxim and CDC KR-2
- Thicker seed than CDC KR-2
- Imidazolinone tolerance
Neutral
- Similar agronomic and maturity characteristics compared to CDC KR-2
- Slightly better disease resistance as CDC Maxim and CDC KR-2
Weaknesses
- None detected during testing
