Soil type: S = sand, C = clay, L = loam, H = heavy, M = medium, Li = light, / = over ** = Low yield due to drought, use caution. Site Stress Factors: de = pre flowering moisture stress, fr = reproductive frost damage, dl = post flowering moisture stress, ht = high temperatures during flowering/pod fill, vi = virus, bgm = botrytis grey mould (low), ab = ascochyta blight (low), hdm = herbicide damage (metribuzin), ho = hayed off excessive biomass * Lentil yields are heavily influenced by rainfall and length of growing season, zones are based on rainfall and yield potential of sites. Example sites in zones are: Low = Lameroo, Willamulka; Medium = Melton, Yeelanna; High = Riverton, Mundulla Data source: SARDI/GRDC, PBA & NVT (long term data based on weighted analysis of sites)
