- The aim of study was to determine the seed rate of winter lentil which was improved by Central Research Institute for Field Crop (CRIFC) in Central Anatolia Conditions. The experiment was conducted in CRIFC`s experimental research field in Haymana during 2002–2004. Four seed rates were investigated (5–10–15 and 20 kg/da). Experimental design was a randomized complete block with three replications. Results revealed that the most suitable seed rate of winter lentil cv. Kafkas was 18.8 kg/da.
