In addition, each lentil field for certification must be isolated by three feet from small grain fields. To prevent mechanical field mixing of swathed lentil seed crop, the planting of small grain between lentil fields, except for three feet of isolation, is recommended. (b) Refers to small grains and vetch, each. (c) Prohibited, restricted, and other weeds difficult to separate must be controlled.
