CDC Kermit
CDC Kermit is a high-yielding, small green lentil with improved lodging tolerance. CDC Kermit is not imidazolinone tolerant. It is well-suited to the Dark Brown and Brown soil zone regions that produce green lentils. In 14 years of testing in the co-op and regional trials in Saskatchewan, it yielded 106% of CDC Maxim in the Brown and Dark Brown soil zones, and 97% in the Black and Dark Grey zones. This represents a 12% yield advantage vs. CDC Imvincible in the brown and dark brown soil zones and 16% in the black and dark grey soil zones. CDC Kermit has PBR’91 protection.
