Days till Plants Emerge
The number of days after seeding that plants take to have visible seedling stem or leaves. Lentils exhibit hypogeal germination, with cotyledons remaining below-ground (Saskatchewan Ministry Agriculture & University of Saskatchewan, 2017; Lentil Staging Guide, 2019). The epicotyl, which is the part of the stem above the cotyledons, reaches the ground surface and pushes the main shoot (plumule) above ground (Lentil Staging Guide, 2019). The first two nodes, either below, or at the soil surface are known as scale leaves (Lentil Staging Guide, 2019). The first true leaf comes from the third node with two leaflets (Lentil Production Manual, n.d.). Lentil seedlings are able to regrow from scale leaves when injury happens (Lentil Production Manual, n.d.).
