WAC 16-302-665   Lentil standards for seed certification.  (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	100*	None found	None found
Registered	4	100*	10	10**
Certified	3	25*	20	20**

*	Reduce to three feet from fields producing a certified class of the same variety. In addition, each lentil field for certification must be isolated by three feet from small grain fields.

OFF-TYPE CLASS	PURE SEED MAXIMUM SEEDS/LB	INERT MINIMUM %	OTHER CROP MAXIMUM %	WEED MAXIMUM %	GERMINATION
					MAXIMUM %	MINIMUM %
Foundation	None found	99.00*	1.00*	None found	None found	85.00
Registered	1	99.00*	1.00*	0.05**	0.05***	85.00
Certified	4	99.00*	1.00*	0.10**	0.05***	85.00

*	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.
