Abstract

A field Experimen on the topic “Effect of bio fertilizers and boron on growth and yield of lentil (Lens culinaris L.)” was conducted during Rabi 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) to examine treatments consisting of three tyoes of biofertilizers viz,Rhizobium, PSB and VAM and three levels of Boron viz. 1, 1.5, and 2 kg/ha. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.28 %), available N (225 kg/ha), available P (19.50 kg/ha) and available K (92 kg/ha). There were 10 treatments each being replicated thrice and laid out in RBD. The findings showed that treatment 3 (Rhizobium - 20 g/kg seeds + Boron - 2.0 kg/ha) had significantly higher  growth characteristics at 60 DAS, including plant height (26.83 cm), dry weight (6.61 g), and yield characteristics at harvest, including number of pods per plant (112.07), number of seeds  per pod (2.00), test weight (29.60 g), seed yield (1.75 t/ha), stover yield (2.17 t/ha), maximum gross return (INR 87,666.67), net return (INR 60,184.45) and b:c ratio (2.19) as compared to other treatments.
