Lentil Production
Lentil production involves the cultivation of lentils, a type of legume known for their high protein content and nutritional value. Lentils thrive in well-drained soil and require a temperate climate, making them suitable for regions with moderate rainfall. They are typically planted in early spring and harvested in late summer or early fall.
Farmers often use crop rotation to maintain soil health and reduce pests. Lentils are usually grown in countries like Canada, India, and Turkey, which are among the largest producers. The process includes planting seeds, managing weeds, and ensuring proper irrigation to achieve a successful yield.
