Abstract
The main goals of the present study were to characterize, evaluate, compare and determine the suitability of lentil legume crop (Lens culinari Medik., var. Baladi) to different Palestinian agro-ecological locations namely Dora, Al-arroub and Janata. Different morphological traits, yield components and some grain quality parameters were registered. Obtained data were statistically analyzed using MINITAB package system. Results showed highly significant environmental (locations) effects for almost all measured traits. In general, Al-arroub site showed higher morphological and yield values; whereas Janata site presented the lowest values. However, no significant variations were observed for all conducted chemical parameters (dry matter, protein content and ash) among the three examined locations. Drought and the limited water availability are the main factors affecting lentil ontogeny and yield, but not the quality variables. Lentil is not recommended for regions of precipitations lower than 250 mm.
