Abstract
A field experiment entitled “Response of Sulphur and Zinc on Growth and Yield of Lentil” was conducted during Rabi season of 2022 at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) India. The soil in experimental plot was sandy loamy in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.8), low in organic carbon (0.35%). The treatments consist of three levels of Sulphur (20, 30, 40 kg/ha) and Zinc (5, 6, 7 kg/ha). The experiment was layout in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 10 treatments and replicated thrice. Application of Sulphur 40 kg/ha along with Zinc 7.0 kg/ha produces higher plant height (37.68 cm), number of nodules (19.25), plant dry weight (18.83 g/plant), crop growth rate (15.7 g/m2/day), number of pods/plant (148.77), number of seeds/pod (1.80), 1000 seed weight (25.27 g), seed yield (1.78 t/ha) and stover yield (3.05 t/ha).
