Effect of phosphorus, sulphur and biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of lentil (Lens culinaris)
Author(s): RK Dwivedi, NK Pandre and DK Tiwari
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2015-16 and 2016-17 to study the effect of P, S and biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of lentil cv. PL-5 Plant height, branches/plant, pods/plant, grains/pod, 1000-grain weight, seed weight/plant and grain yield were maximum at 60 Kg P2O5/ha, 30 kg S/ha and seed inoculation with Rhizobium + PSB biofertilizers. Similar was the case with grain protein, protein yield and net return. The additional net return due to P60, S30 and Rhizobium +PSB was Rs.8689, 2643 and 3237/ha respectively, over their respective controls. The combined influence of these inputs augmented the yield and net return of lentil over their separate effects.
