Abstract
The experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2021-21 and 2021-22 at the Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Maharana Pratap University of
Agriculture and technology (MPUAT) Udaipur (Rajasthan). The objective is evaluating the performance of lentil under different phosphorus, sulphur and
zinc levels. The treatments consisted of three factors viz. phosphorus levels (30, 40 and 50 kg P2O5 ha-1) sulphur levels (15, 20 and 25 kg S ha-1) and zinc
fertilization (control and 0.5 % ZnSO4). The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The resulted revealed that
the application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1+20 kg S ha-1 with 0.5 % ZnSO4 as foliar spray recorded minimum days to 50 % flower initiation, pod formation and maturity
and higher seed, haulm and biological yield.
