Abstract

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), is a valuable and accessible source of plant proteins. Thanks to their symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, they help in the accumulation of nitrogen in the soil. In the climatic conditions of the Ararat and Gegharkunik regions, lentil samples from ICARDA collection were studied, including: plateflat forms Flip2006-4L, Flip2007-12L, Flip2007-15L, Flip2006-10L, Flip2007-3L, Flip2007-30L; drought-resistant Bilsen-365, EP-54; early-maturing Flip2005-42L, Flip 2005-53, Sellfrom LL1 767, Flip2006-79L; frost-resistant Flip2003-30L, Flip 2007-26L, AKM-46, Flip2005-25L. For the lentil samples, the climatic conditions of the Gegharkunik region proved to be more favorable, and the samples Flip2007-12L, Flip 2007-15L, and Flip2007-3L demonstrated 21 %, 35 %, and 14 %, higher yields compared to the Ararat region, respectively. In the Ararat region, the highest yield among all studied samples was shown by the drought-resistant Ep-54. The mentioned varieties are recommended for use in breeding work and production sowings.
