Abstract
Yield of a crop depends on growth and developmental responses to various environmental factors. Agronomic practices for high yield of two new crops of Saskatchewan, lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), must be based on these responses to variations of the local climate. Controlled environment and field studies were conducted: 1) to determine the effects of variations in temperature, soil moisture and radiation intensity on physiological characteristics and growth of Laird lentil and Cheston chickpea; 2) to determine the effects of temperature and photo period on time to first flower in five genotypes of lentil; and 3) to compare the efficiency of the degree-day, rate-factor and equivalent hours of maximum net photosynthesis (EHMNP) models for predicting time of first flower in the same five lentil genotypes.
