Abstract

A split plot field experiment was carded out on an alluvial soil to study the effect of different number of irrigations and FYM addition on seed & straw yields of lentil and plant content of NPK and seed's protein. The results reveal that all the studied parameters were significantly increased due to the increase of number of irrigations up to 3 irrigations, except K content in in seeds, as the increase was insignificant. Similar results were recorded with FYM additions, without any exception up to 15 tons/feed.
