Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during winter (Rabi) season of 2019-20 at Agricultural Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Dolphin (PG) College of Science and Agriculture, Chunni Kalan, a campus of Punjabi University, Patiala, and Punjab. The experiment used a randomized block design with eight treatments T₁- RDF(40:40:20), T₂-RDF + Zn @ 5 kg ha^-1, T₃- RDF + Zn @ 10 kg ha^-1, T₄- RDF + Fe @ 5 kg ha^-1, T₅- RDF + Fe @ 10 kg ha^-1, T₆- RDF + B @ 5 kg ha^-1, T₇-RDF + B @ 10 kg ha^-1, and T₈- RDF + Zn + Fe+ B @ 5 kg ha^-1 and three replications. Result revealed that Effect of foliar application of Zinc, Iron, Boron, and RDF was found best in terms of growth, yield and economic returns of lentil crop under irrigated conditions. Among all the treatments of, T₄ (RDF + Fe @ 5 kg ha^-1) was better in growth attributes and yield attributes. On the basis of maximum B: C ratio T₄ (RDF + Fe @ 5 kg ha^-1) should be suggested for the farmers of Punjab Region.
