Table 5.7 Mean green index score of green lentil seed coats for the 15 genotypes<br />

In almost all situations, swathing produced a more desired sample of green<br />

lentil. The only sample that had an equal or better score from the desiccated lentils<br />

was Eston in 2006, but this was not a significant difference (Figure 5.1). For 2006<br />

the mean score for swathing was also lower than the mean score for desiccation<br />

(Figure 5.2). In many of the other genotypes significant differences were noted in<br />

both 2005 and 2006 where swathing was significantly more green than desiccation<br />

with diquat (Figures 5.1 and 5.2). The differences between the mean of swathing<br />

and desiccation for each genotype were not the same for 2005 and 2006.<br />
