Influence of integrated nutrient management on physiological parameters of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)

During the rabi season of 2021, a field experiment was conducted in North Western plains Uttarakhand at Crop Research Centre, School Agriculture, Uttaranchal University, Dehradun to examine impact integrated nutrient management (INM) on lentil growth, yield, and economics (Lens culinaris Medik.). The laid Randomized Block Design with seven treatments i.e. T1 (Control, 100% RDF (Recommended Dose Fertilizers), T2 (75 % NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) + 25 FYM (Farm Yard Manure), T3 (50 50 FYM), T4 Azotobacter), T5 T6 (Vermicompost Azotobacter)) & T7 NPK+ Azotobacter)). combination per cent vermicompost plus Azotobacter showed maximum LAI (Leaf Area Index) (0.25), NAR (Net Assimilation Rate) (0.0020), chlorophyll content (3.05), dry matter (4.44 g), protein (26.99 %) contrast other six treatments.
