Abstract

A set of fifty lentil genotypes was used to study its response to extra nitrogen application through foliar spray of urea. The response was measured in terms of plant height, number of pods per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, days to maturity and grain yield per plant. Different genotypes responded differentially. A positive response was observed for yield and its determinants in 12 genotypes.
