This is a collaborative project that will build on greenhouse trials that demonstrated significant yield increases when plant hormones were applied to field peas. Field trials will determine if similar responses to the application of plant hormone occur in the field environment. Preliminary testing shows great promise for increasing seed yield in all three crops. This has enormous potential to increase yield and profitability for Alberta producers.
