Over the past 25 years, Canada has emerged as one of the world's largest exporters of lentils accounting forx000D
approximately 50% in 2008. Saskatchewan is the primary lentil producer in Canada. Loveland Productsx000D
Canada Inc. offers its patented formulation of the plant growth hormones, auxin and cytokinin, called Radiate®x000D
for Canadian lentil crop growers. Radiate is not only a powerful root stimulator for lentil plants but alsox000D
enhances the plant's ability to produce more of these essential root growth hormones. Radiate provides thex000D
unique balance of these essential plant hormones which consistently supports maximum root growth and plantx000D
performance, including lentil seed yield. Radiate is typically applied to lentil plants in combination with eitherx000D
a herbicide or a herbicide in combination with a fungicide. Herbicide and fungicide treatments may alsox000D
contribute to the shift of balance in auxin and cytokinin levels in lentil plants. Thus, Loveland is interested tox000D
evaluate the potential interactive effects of Radiate with herbicide and fungicide treatments on the natural auxinx000D
and cytokinin levels of lentil seeds. This knowledge may help Loveland improve their Radiate formulation tox000D
optimize its effect on lentil seed yield. It is also important to evaluate and document the effects of Radiate onx000D
the endogenous levels of the naturally occurring plant hormones, auxin and cytokinin, in field-grown lentilx000D
seeds.
