Influence of Nitrogen and Sulphur Levels on Growth and Yield of Lentil (Lens culinaris M.)

The field experiment entitled ‘‘Influence of Nitrogen and Sulphur levels on growth yield Lentil (Lens culinaris M.)’’ conducted during Rabi 2021 at Crop Research Farm, Department Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). soil experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral reaction (pH 7.2), low organic carbon (0.22 %), available N (171.48 kg/ha), P (12.3 kg/ha) K (235.7 kg/ha). laid out Randomized Block Design with nine treatments which are replicated thrice. viz; 1: N-10 kg/ha + S-10 kg/ha, 2: S-20kg/ha, 3: S-30 , 4: N-20 5: kg/ha+ S-20 6: 7: N-30 8: S- 20 ,9: kg/ha. Treatments consisted three (10, 20, 30 kg ha-1) four ha-1). results obtained that application 30kg/ha along recorded significantly higher Plant height (42.68cm), Number nodules/plant (7.33) dry weight (19.30g/plant), Pods/plant (159.42), Seeds/pod (1.80), Seed (1719.3kg/ha) Stover (2814 kg\ha) Harvest Index (37.92%). Higher Gross returns (87684.30 INR/ha), Net return (59773.60 INR/ha) Benefit cost ratio (2.14) were the treatment 30kg/ha. up to ha-1 increased uptake by crop. Protein content grain addition (30 sulphur Yield lentil linearly increasing Sulphur. Therefore, it is concluded more productive economically feasible.
