Lentil Harry

Genetic Potential and Protection: Why Garry Performs

The 'Garry' lentil variety from the 'Ліст' breeding program is a specialized tool for commercial production, prioritizing the stability of large-seeded fractions and phytosanitary reliability. Within the Ukrainian agricultural sector, where fungal load is often a limiting factor for yield, this variety represents a significant step forward in pulse breeding.

Biological Profile and Morphology

With a plant height ranging from 46 to 60 cm, 'Garry' is optimized for efficient use with standard combines, minimizing harvesting losses—a critical factor for legumes. A growing season of 86–100 days classifies it as a mid-season variety, making it ideal for the majority of Ukraine's climatic zones by avoiding peak summer heat during grain filling.

Phytosanitary Resistance

The core technological focus is on integrated defense against key pathogens:

• Ascochyta Blight: High tolerance levels ensure the integrity of the pod and the quality of the seed coat.
• Fusarium Wilt: The variety minimizes the risks of root rot, guaranteeing uniform emergence and sustained crop density.
• Bacterial Wilt: Reinforced baseline resistance ensures vegetative stability even under high humidity conditions.

Large Grain Economics

The 1000-seed weight of 46–65 grams positions this variety in the premium segment of commercial lentils. Large grain size is not merely an aesthetic advantage but a direct response to market demands for export-quality products. High seed density combined with predictable yield potential makes 'Garry' a reliable asset for profitability planning in any agricultural operation.
