Abstract:
Study on response of soil physico-chemical properties and growth & yield of Lentil to herbicides used for Rice-Legume crop sequence. Soil Physical properties like bulk density, water holding capacity and moisture content of soil did not vary after harvest of DSR (60 DAA) due to Carfentrazone ethyl, Pyrazosulfuron, Penoxulam, Bispyribac sodium as compared to the initial. No account of changes in soil chemical properties like soil pH and EC at 60 DAA with carfentrazone, results also clearly showed organic carbon, total available N, P₂O₅ & K₂O contents did not vary. Lentil sown in Rabi to decern the residual effect of herbicides on germination of Lentil (88.37 - 91.33%) in different treatments. Highest plant population obtained with Pendimethalin 30 EC, it has acquired fascinated results of seed yield (50.16 q ha^-1) and ensuing premium treatment for higher grain yield was Carfentrazone Ethyl 40 DF (890.46 q ha^-1).
