GROWTH ANALYSIS, MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND YIELD OF LENTIL GENOTYPES (Pages : 5 - 8)

Lentil is an important grain legume but the average yield is low. Use of high yielding varieties of lentil and effective management may increase the lentil production. Two experiments were carried out with four genotypes viz., LMM-4, LMM-9, Binamasur-8 and Binamasur-12 of lentil at BINA Sub-stations Ishwardi and Chapainawabganj from November, 2021 to March, 2022. Binamasur-12 showed the highest nitrate reductase activity and chlorophyll content at 66 and 88 DAS. Nitrate reductase activity of all the lentil genotypes was higher at 66 DAS than 88 days. Crop growth rate was higher in Binamasur-8 and Binamasur-12 and LMM-9 and Relative growth rate in Binamasur-8 and LMM-9. LMM-9 produced the longest plant. The highest seed yield was produced by Binamasur-12. Crop duration of the lentil genotypes was 96-101 days. Download
