Abstract

The lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus), a member of the Fabaceae (formerly Leguminosae: Papilionaceae), is an annual legume crop. This legume has nutritional quality higher than that of cereals, meat, and fish (Aykroyd and Doughty 1964) and is adapted to a wide variety of soil types, thus growing in environments otherwise difficult for other crops (Aakre 1993; Ladizinsky 1993).
