A field experiment was conducted during winter season of 1993–95 to study the response of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) cultivars to sources and levels of sulphur. Among the sources of sulphur, gypsum proved significantly superior with respect to yield attributes (pods/plant and 1,000-grain weight), grain and straw yields and harvest index. Yield and yield attributes, protein content in grain and total protein production increased significantly with increasing levels of sulphur up to 40 kg/ha. Among the cultivars, ‘Pant L 406’ performed better than others in respect of yield and quality.
