Abstract: An experiment was conducted to study the “Effect of seed priming on growth and yield of lentil (Lens culinaris Medic.) at New Dairy Farm, Kalyanpur, during Rabi season of 2016-17 & 2017-18 on lentil variety KLS-218. The experiment was comprised ten seed priming treatments viz., T0- Control, T1- Seed priming with Trichoderma harzianum @ 1.5%, T2- Seed priming with GA3 @ 50ppm, T3- Seed priming with Vitavax power @ 0.25%, T4 - Seed priming with GA3 @ 50ppm + seed coating with Trichoderma harzianum @ 15g/kg seed, T5- Seed treatment with Bavistin @ 3g/kg seed, T6- Seed priming with sodium molybdate @ 500 ppm, T7- Seed priming with sodium molybdate @ 500ppm + seed coating with Trichoderma harzianum @ 15 g/kg, T8- Seed priming with water, T9- Seed priming with leaf extract of Lantana camara @ 10% .The present investigation revealed that seed priming with sodium molybdate @ 500 ppm + seed coating with T. harzianum @ 15g/ kg seed was significantly highest to improved the growth and seed yield parameters over unprimed (control) with highest field emergence (93.66%), number of plants per square meter (237.66), number of pods per plant (137.49), number of seeds per pod (1.81), seed yield per plot (1.22 Kg) & seed yield (12.20 q/ha). Treatment T7 was the best priming treatment as it showed highest benefit cost ratio (1:2.49) which increase growth, yield and seed quality parameters and enhance to the farmer’s income. T1 (seed priming with Trichoderma harzianum @ 1.5%) was found second best priming treatment.
