Description
In two years of testing in the Lentil Registration Recommendation Trials in 2011–2012, CDC Carmine yielded 106% of CDC Maxim (Table 1). In the 2013-2015 Lentil Regional Variety Trials, yield was 113% of CDC Maxim (Table 2). In eight years of testing in the co- op and regional trials in Saskatchewan, CDC Carmine yielded 111% of CDC Maxim in the Brown and Dark Brown soil zones, and 106% in the Black and Dark Gray soil zones (Table 5). Seed coat colour, cotyledon colour, flowering time, maturity, plant height, and seed weight are similar to CDC Maxim. Seed diametre is slightly less than that of CDC Maxim but seed thickness is higher, making CDC Carmine more suitable for lentil dehulling. Application for PBR’91 protection for CDC Carmine has been submitted.
Strengths
- Seed thickness is greater than CDC Maxim
- Consistent high yield compared to CDC Maxim
Neutral
- Similar agronomic, maturity, and disease resistance characteristics compared to CDC Maxim
Weaknesses
- Not tolerant to imidazolinone herbicides
