Influence of 2,3,5-Triiodobenzoic Acid on Seed Yield of Lentils¹

High rates of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) caused a dense-appearing canopy that may increase the competitive ability of lentils (Lens culinaris L.). At high rates there was an increase in single pods per peduncle, a decrease in triple pods, and no change in double pods. Total number of pods per plant, seed per pod, seed per plant, and seed weight did not change. Yields were similar to the control at one rate (2.8 g/ha) of the chemical, while at other rates yields tended to be reduced.

Key Words: TIBA • Growth regulator
