Field experiments were conducted at krishiVigyan Kendra, Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh during rabi seasons of 2015-16 and 2016-17 to study the effect of spray of water soluble fertilizer NPK (18:18:18) on BC Ratio and yield of lentil crop. Pulses are mostly grown by the farmers without any fertilizer application, as positive effect of supplying legume plants with supplementary nitrogen was found to have beneficial effect on enhancing growth and increasing seed yield. Significantly higher seed yield of pulses were recorded with application of Basal application of DAP @ 40kg./ha + Two spray of NPK (18:18:18) at 40 & 60 days spray over basal dose of fertilizer application The lowest seed yield was recorded with no spray of NPK (18:18:18). Among the fertilizer spray treatments irrespective of basal dose of fertilizer foliar application of NPK (18:18:18) was significantly better than all other treatments. Timing of fertilizer application also affected different yield components. Multiple application of both soil and foliar application of NPK gave better results as compared to single application of NPK.
