Collaborative project: Identification of lentil (Lens culinaris) genotypes for sustainable cropping systems in temperate climates (LinSel)

Project

Project code: 2815EPS050
Contract period: 15.02.2019 - 28.02.2022
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: lentils, legumes, mixed cultivation, selection

The overarching goal of “LinSel” is to provide lentil genotypes for farmers which are adjusted to the growing conditions in Central Europe to increase the yield, yield stability and product quality of the legume lentil (Lens culinaris). In the scope of the project, genotypes are identified, selected, improved, and tested in order to obtain the best adaption for cultivation in German farming systems. As a consequence, lentils can be re-introduced as a “new” traditional crop. Within our project we strive to expand lentil cultivation beyond the currently used locations. The results of this project aim at adding lentils to the product-portfolio of plant breeders, farmers, and consumers.
