Abstract: The present investigation was conducted with the effect of fertility levels and varieties on growth, yield and quality of lentil. A factorial experiment based on randomized block with three replications was conducted in 2016-17. The treatments consist of four fertility levels of F₁=10:50: 10NPK/ha, F₂=20:60:20NPK/ha, F₃=30:70:30NPK/ha, F₄=40:80:40NPK/ha and three varieties of lentil (PL-4, Rani K-75 and HUL-57) as test crop at Agricultural Research Farm of AKS University, Sherganj, Satna (M.P.). In field experiment finding application of NPK @ 40:80:40kg/ha caused higher growth of plants, besides yield attributes as well as seed yield (12.35 q./ha.) was observed in HUL-57 and fallowed by Rani K-75 and lowest seed yield PL-4 found to be more in comparison to other cultivars under investigation. Interactive use of fertility levels × varieties were also found to be significant and maximum seed yield i.e, (12.37 q/ha) was obtained when NPK @ 40:80:40kg/ha along with HUL-57 was used.
