Lentils grow well on most well drained soil types. Yield can be severely reduced on wet, poorly drained soils, as root diseases will increase. Fields can be rolled postemergence, up to the 46 inch height. Lentils are sensitive to herbicide residues. Lentils can be seeded early in the growing season. Lentils will tolerate several degrees of frost and will regrow if the aboveground portion is damaged. Yield will usually be reduced if lentils are seeded after the third week in May.
