Klause u must not of got the memo. To be a lentil grower you need to have a good smattering of wild mustard and some thistle patches. Geez

Do not presell any lentils. Root rot like a bandit in heavy soil - light soil - all soil. Other fields that looked just gorgeous, we looked today ascho taking over. Our neighbour didn't spray. I think disease will get this bumper. No more half inchers please.

18 hours and 6 minutes.....

That is how long it took for one of Klause's pictures to get to India and back to my email with the notation - "all the lentils don't have mold - look at these..."

We farm near Regina with heavy and lighter land and we only got just over an inch of rain in 2 weeks. Can't imagine areas that got 8 and more. Acres went in but as usual Mother Nature rules. We also toured the province last week and noticed a drastic change in 10 days, some fields ascho to the top and its only July 19. Big surprise for us but we've been here before. I'd say we've not seen this much root rot once in 1981 and again n 1994. Do you remember marketing 1994 crop? Anything rolled back then was a dud, didn't even get the seed back. We sort of forgot about the roots needing air.

Many pods are aborting and some pods don't even have a seed in them. This is not what we want to see. We may be a little short of product. Hopefully the bottom pods fill before the crops totally shut down. Last one in is a rotten egg.

I haven't posted pictures but gotta learn how.

I don't recall seeing a single pod on Klause's lentil plant, lots of flowers but see if they will fill after they pod. Lentils are not a wet, damp, cool climate crop.
Lentil vegetation doesn't make the lentil crop, lentils seeds do.
If the ground and canopy is as wet everywhere else as it is here, good luck. And we never got near the rain some other places got. Also as dumb as this may sound.... some soil is too good(aka black moist soils) and rich for lentils.

Oh yeah, just spray them again, even though the fungicide likely won't reach into the canopy.

I think sumdumguy is right.

No ill will klause....just my worthless opinion.
