Abstract
At the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology, and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.), India, a field experiment was carried out during Rabi season of 2022. To study how zinc and sulphur affect lentil growth and output. Sulphur (20, 30, 40 kg/ha) and zinc (5, 6, 7 kg/ha) make up the treatments. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loamy in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.8), low in organic carbon (0.35%). Results revealed that the higher in yield attributes viz. number of pods/plant (148.77), maximum number of seeds/pod (1.80), 1000 seed weight (25.27 g), maximum seed yield (1.78 t/ha), stover yield (3.05 t/ha) and economics viz. Higher gross returns (INR 1,06,980/ha), net returns (INR 74,445/ha) and B:C ratio (2.29) were also recorded in treatment-9 (Sulphur 40 kg/ha + Zinc 7.0 kg/ha).
