Lentils, Beans, Flax Response to Hail
Lentils, drybeans, and flax will recover from hail if green material remains above the area of the first leaf. Buds along the stem will regrow following destruction of the growing point. Delay in maturity is a major factor in final yield and quality especially in drybeans. Flax will tolerate frost while drybeans will not. Lentils do not tolerate heat well and yield loss may occur if flowering occurs during hot weather.
Use of fungicide and micronutrients may help recovery. However, there is no economic
data on this practice in N.D. In the corn belt economic yields were obtained about 50% of
the time when treating soybeans.
