Abstract:
Investigation was carried out at the Crop Research Centre, Alpine Institute of Management and Technology, Dehradun, Uttarakhand during rabi season of 2018-19 to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on physiological parameters of lentil. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with ten treatments replicated thrice. The lentil plants supplied with NPKS @ 15:20:15:15 kg/ha + FYM @ 8 t/ha exhibited maximum leaf area, leaf area index, crop growth rate and net assimilation rate. Further, this treatment recorded higher grain yield per hectare (1072.93 kg/ha) and straw yield per hectare (1841.31 kg/ha). Hence, the application of NPKS @ 15:20:15:15 kg/ha along with FYM @ 8 t/ha proved beneficial for realizing higher yields of lentil.
