Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2021-22, at crop research farm of Department of Agronomy at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj in North Eastern plains of Eastern Uttar Pradesh with the objective to study the Influence of Phosphorus and Foliar Spray of Zinc on Growth and yield of lentil (Lens culinaris M.) Var. KSL-0903 was conducted on Randomized block design comprising of 9 treatments designated as (T1-T9) with different combination of Phosphorus and Foliar Spray of Zinc on which are replicated thrice. The experimental results revealed that [Phosphorus 50kg/ha+ Zinc 0.75%] gave the tallest plants (54.53cm), Number of nodules/plant (8.66), Plant dry weight (12.73g), number of pods/plant (163.3), number of seeds/pod (2.00), test weight (25.13g), Seed yield (1.908t/ha), Stover yield (3.534 t/ha). The treatment 9 [Phosphorus 50kg/ha+ Zinc 0.75%] recorded highest net return (66348.30 INR /ha), highest gross return (97308.30 INR/ha) and benefit: cost ratio (2.14).
