کیمیا، رقم جدید پرمحصول عدس برای مناطق معتدل سرد و نیمه گرمسیر در شرایط دیم کشور

Development of new cultivars with high seed yield and desirable characteristics are major goals of lentil program for Moderate and Semi Warm Climate of Iran. Kimiya is a new lentil (Lens cultivars Medik) cultivar with high-yield, yield satability and adaptability to rainfed conditions. The Iranian Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization issued registration for Kimiya on 9 August 2009. This cultivar originated from a cross between ILL5582 (origin of Jordan) and ILL 707 (origin of Tunisia) made in ICARDA and received as a pure line (FLIP 92-12L) in 1995. The new line was entered in to A and B test experiments and evaluated for seed yield and agronomic performance in Kermanshah (Sararood), Gonbad, Shirvan, Gachsaran, Koohdashat and Ilam (Shirvan Chardavoul) Stations during 1995-2007. Due to high yield potential and desirable characters, it was selected and forwarded to yield stability traits carried out in Kermanshah, Lorestan, Ilam, Shirvan and Gonbad during 2001-04 under rainfed condition. Line FLIP 92-12L with a mean yield of 1263 kgha-1 in Kermanshah, Lorestan, Ilam, Shirvan and Gonbad produced significantly higher yield than local check. Results of statistical analysis on seed yield, using different methods of stability showed that this line was one of the most stable genotypes. Based on the results of on-farm experiments in five locations in Kermanshah and two locations in Lorestan during 2002-04, the new this line with 1289 kgha-1 produced 50 percent higher yield than local checks. In demonstration fields in four locations of Kermanshah during 2003-07 this line with 1093 kgha-1 produced 47% higher yield than local check.
