Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2019 at university research
farm, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda (U.P.), to study the
“Impact of Foliar Supplementation of Zinc, Urea and Salicylic Acid on Productivity
and Economics of Lentil Varieties Under Rainfed Conditions.” The experiment was
conducted in Split plot Design with three replications with foliar spray of water, zinc
sulphate, urea and Salicylic acid alone and in combination for lentil varieties of IPL-321
and IPL-316 under rainfed condition. Total treatment combinations were fourteen. Results
indicated that the foliar application of zinc sulphate@0.5% + urea@2% + Salicylic
acid@100 ppm doses were found significantly higher with number of primary branches
plant-1, number of secondary branches plant-1, plant height (cm), Plant population/m2
, Dry
matter (g), 50% flowering(79DAS) and 80% maturity(115DAS), weight of seed plant-1
(3.98 g), number of pods plant-1 (83), test weight ( 37.87g) and seed yield ( 13qha-1), straw
yield(17qha-1) and net return (₹50441) in comparison to other treatments respectively in
variety IPL-321. Therefore, on the basis of conclusions derived from hole study, a
nutritional booster of zinc sulphate@0.5% + urea@2% +salicylic acid @ 100 ppm may be
recommended for IPL-321 variety of lentil in respect of growth attributes, yield attributes
and yields and economics under rainfed conditioned.
