N2  - A new Egyptian lentil (Lens culinaris subsp. culinaris Medikus) cultivar denoted 'Giza 29' was developed by the Lentil Breeding Program, Food Legumes Res. Dep., Field Crops Res. Inst., Agric. Res. Center. The cultivar is originated from the Egyptian landrace 'Family 29'. Yield potential and stability of this new lentil cultivar were evaluated under various agroecological zones in 62 variopus yield trials at agricultural research stations and on-farm trials during 2003/2004 through 2012/2013 seasons. Seed yield of Giza 29 exceeded that of the wide-spread local cultivar Giza 9 by 28.5% in preliminary yield trials, 19.9% in advanced yield trials (class A), and 13.1% in advanced yield trials (class B), 28.5% in advanced yield trials (class C), and 20.8% in the on-farm verification trials, with an overall average of 22.2%. The cultivar Giza 29 also showed considerable yield stability. Therefore, we recommend growing this cultivar in both north and south Egypt.
