Evaloation of Droght Tolerance Indices of Lentil Varietes Shahzad Jamaati-e-Somarin and Roghayyeh Zabihi-e-Mahmoodabad: Evaloation of Droght Tolerance Indices of Lentil Varietes

ABSTRACT Indicators to assess drought tolerance in lentil cultivars Ardabil region factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications in the 2010 Farm Agricultural Research Station University, Ardebil, was performed. Factors including two levels of planting conditions (irrigation and no irrigation) and lentil cultivars with five levels (ILL1180, ILL1324, ILL1251, local varieties and ILL1237) were. Results showed that, in dryland cultivar in 1180, about 308.22 kg per hectare (23.31 percent) and the 1324 cultivar of about 448.53 kg per hectare (35.51 percent) than irrigated had a yield reduction. The 1180 cultivar with the lowest and highest index value of TOL and SSI MP, GMP and STI in 1324 was also the highest value of TOL, SSI and STI and the 1237 cultivar with the lowest index was MP and GMP. Therefore, according to 1180 cultivars that the stress conditions and water conditions had the highest yield and lowest yield reduction in stress conditions than normal and has had a high resistance to drought is the best cultivar (in Among the studied cultivars) for culture in both irrigated and rainfed conditions is also the cultivar in 1324, is the most sensitive cultivars
