Abstract

Field experiments were conducted at the student instructional farm during 2021-22 and 2022-23 at C. S. A. U. A. & T., Kanpur, on lentil (Lentil KLS 9-3). The soil was sandy loam textured. Fifteen treatments with three replications were applied using a randomized block design. Observations included pods per plant, seeds per pod, test weight (grams), seed yield (Kg ha-1), straw yield (Kg ha-1), biological yield (Kg ha-1), and harvest index (%). The pooled results showed T14 (RDF + ZnSO4 + FeSO4 (0.5%) foliar spray at pre-flowering and pod formation stages, with Rhizobium) had highest values: no. pods per plant 126.64, no. seeds per pod 1.77, test weight 25.34 grams, seed yield 1781 Kg ha-1, straw yield 2426 Kg ha-1, biological yield 4207 Kg ha-1, and harvest index 42.36%.
