A field experiment was conducted during Winter season of 2022 at Crop Research Farm (CRF). Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (UP) to investigate the effect of phosphorus and zinc levels on growth and yield of lentil. The treatments consist of three phosphorus doses viz., 20, 30, 50 kg/ha and three foliar zinc doses i.e., 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% whose effect is observed on Lentil (var. PL 406).
