Abstract
ABSTRACT There is little known about how, or whether, GA3 affects development of lentils (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris). In the field, lentil was treated at two times with four concentrations of GA3 and with or without irrigation. Concentration of GA3 affected plant height, numbers of branches and pods, 100 seed weight, and yield. The 10 mg·L−1 concentration of GA3 resulted in increased yield and increased percentage of pods with two seeds. The 50 mg·L−1 concentration of GA3 produced more branches. Application of GA3 at flowering increased yield by 60%. Irrigation produced the greatest number of pods and the highest yield. Lentil production can be increased by applying concentrations of GA3 between 10 and 50 mg·L−1 at flowering.
