Effect of various level of phosphorus and spacing on growth and yield of lentil (Lens culinaries M.)
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The field experiment was carried out in the 2023–2024 rabi season at Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University, Dehradun, at the Crop Research Farm. Since most soils in rainfed agro-ecosystems have low to medium levels of accessible phosphorus. Lentil respond well to phosphorus fertilization. The experiment was consisting of 4 phosphorus level and 3 spacings. Total 12 treatment combinations have made and applied in 3 replications. The results indicate that plants with a spacing of 45x10 cm had a considerably greater plant height (29.59 cm), dry weight (4.81g), number of root nodules (48.39), higher crop growth rate (4.42), higher relative growth rate (5.60), number of seed pod-1 (1.78), higher number of pods plant-1 (69.03 cm), and a higher test weight (36.52), grain yield (11.53), straw yield (19.78) in that order.
