(1) Land, isolation, and field standards for lentil seed certification are:
Class | Land Minimum Years | Isolation Minimum Feet | Off-type Maximum Plants/acre | Field Other Crop Maximum Plants/acre |
Foundation | 5 | 25 (a) | None found | None found |
Registered | 4 | 10 (a) | 10 | 10 (b) |
Certified | 3 | 10 (a) | 20 | 20 (b) |

(b) | Refers to barley and vetch, each. |
(2) Seed certification standards for lentil are:
Class | Off Type Maximum Seeds/lb | Pure Seed Minimum % | Inert Maximum % | Other Crop Maximum % | Weed Maximum % | Germination Minimum % |
Foundation | None found | 99.00 (a) | 1.00 (a) | None found | None found | 85.00 |
Registered | 1 | 99.00 (a) | 1.00 (a) | 0.05 (b) | 0.05 (b), (c) | 85.00 |
Certified | 4 | 99.00 (a) | 1.00 (a) | 0.10 (b) | 0.05 (c) | 85.00 |
(a) | A total of three percent inert matter is allowed in samples containing decorticated seed provided total of all other inert matter does not exceed one percent. |
(b) | No vetch is permitted. |
(c) | Objectionable weed seed maximum: 1 seed per lb. registered class, 2 seeds per lb. certified class. |
