Abstract:
The present experiment entitled, “Effect of Bio fertilizers on Different Varieties of lentil (Lens culinaris L.)”, which was conducted at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) during rabi season of 2021. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design with nine treatments and were replicated thrice. The results revealed that significantly higher plant height (41.61 cm), number of nodules per plant (6.15/plant), dry weight (38.10 g/plant), crop growth rate (19.32 g/m2/day) , relative growth rate (0.0502 g/g/day), number of pods (211.14/plant), number of seeds (1.85/plant), test weight (28.55g), seed yield (1.95t/ha), straw yield (3.91t/ha) and harvest index (%) (33.57) were recorded with application of KLS218 +PSB 20g/kg seed. Maximum gross return (INR 136733.33/ha), net return (INR 93145.33/ha) and benefit cost ratio (INR 2.14/ha) were obtained highest in the treatment combination of KLS218 +PSB 20g/kg seed.
