Abstract: During the Rabi season respective years 2021-22 and 2022-23, a field experiment was conducted at the student instructional farm of CSAUA&T, Kanpur. Experimental soil had a texture of sandy loam. There are 15 treatment combination involved varying combinations of micronutrients and biofertilizers with three replications of randomized block design. The cultivation of lentil variety Lentil- KLS9-3 (Krish) was carried out in accordance with the suggested agronomic practices. It can be concluded from these findings that the two-year results are consistent with the T14 (RDF + ZnSO4 (0.5%) +FeSO4 (0.5%) foliar spray at pre flowering + pod development stage + Rhizobium) showed the highest values economics parameters i.e., maximum cost of cultivation ₹ 38507 & ₹ 39444, gross returns of ₹105799 & ₹ 116068, net return of ₹ 67292 & ₹ 75884 of respective both of years followed by T15.
