approximately 50% in 2008. Saskatchewan is the primary lentil producer in Canada. Loveland Products_x000D_
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 also_x000D_
enhances the plant's ability to produce more of these essential root growth hormones. Radiate provides the_x000D_
unique balance of these essential plant hormones which consistently supports maximum root growth and plant_x000D_
performance, including lentil seed yield. Radiate is typically applied to lentil plants in combination with either_x000D_
a herbicide or a herbicide in combination with a fungicide. Herbicide and fungicide treatments may also_x000D_
contribute to the shift of balance in auxin and cytokinin levels in lentil plants. Thus, Loveland is interested to_x000D_
evaluate the potential interactive effects of Radiate with herbicide and fungicide treatments on the natural auxin_x000D_
and cytokinin levels of lentil seeds. This knowledge may help Loveland improve their Radiate formulation to_x000D_
optimize its effect on lentil seed yield. It is also important to evaluate and document the effects of Radiate on_x000D_
the endogenous levels of the naturally occurring plant hormones, auxin and cytokinin, in field-grown lentil_x000D_
