Description
CDC Jimini (IBC-1014-SG) is a high yielding small green Clearfield® lentil variety. In 8 years of testing in the Lentil Regional Variety Trials, CDC Jimini yielded 108% in the brown and dark brown soil zones (zones 1 & 2) and 99% in the black and dark grey soil zones (zone 3 & 4) compared to CDC Maxim. Compared to the Clearfield(R) small green lentil variety CDC Imvincible, CDC Jimini yielded 14% higher in zones 1 & 2 and 18% higher in zones 3 & 4. CDC Jimini also yields 2% higher than the conventional small green lentil CDC Kermit. Seed diameter and thickness are both higher than that of CDC Imvincible, making CDC Jimini more suitable for lentil dehulling. Disease resistance of CDC Jimini is similar to CDC Imvincible. Application for PBR’91 protection for CDC Jimini has been submitted.
Strengths
- Highest yielding small green lentil variety
- Imidazolinone tolerance
- Taller than CDC Imvincible
- Improved yield compared to conventional small lentil variety CDC Kermit.
Neutral
- Similar disease resistance characteristics compared to CDC Imvincible and CDC Kermit
Weaknesses
- None detected
