In order to study the effects of soil and foliar application of nitrogen on yield attributes of Lentil (Lens culinaris, M.) under Teak based, an experiment was carried out at SHIATS, Allahabad, U.P., India during 2015- 2016 growth season. An experiment based on a Randomized Block Design with three replications was used. Nitrogen treatments included eight levels with Control, traits including plant height, number of pods/ plant, number of seeds/ pod, 1000 seed weight, seed yield and stover yield were measured. Analysis of variance showed that they were statistically significant. Basal application of N (98.5%) + foliar spray 1.5 % N significantly increases the yield parameters.

Abstract


In order to study the effects of soil and foliar application of nitrogen on yield attributes of Lentil (Lens culinaris, M.) under Teak based, an experiment was carried out at SHIATS, Allahabad, U.P., India during 2015- 2016 growth season. An experiment based on a Randomized Block Design with three replications was used. Nitrogen treatments included eight levels with Control, traits including plant height, number of pods/ plant, number of seeds/ pod, 1000 seed weight, seed yield and stover yield were measured. Analysis of variance showed that they were statistically significant. Basal application of N (98.5%) + foliar spray 1.5 % N significantly increases the yield parameters.
