To find out the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of lentil an experiment was conducted at High Mountain Arid Agriculture Research Institute, Leh (SKUAST-Kashmir) during Kharif season 2017. The experiment consists of one genotype of lentil Shalimar masoor-1 laid in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and seven treatment levels. The plot size of 2×2m was used in this experiment. The results showed that combination of NPK+FYM recorded significantly higher biological yield than NPK used alone. The data showed that NPK 50:70:30+4t FYM recorded significantly higher biological yield than control. The study also indicated that significantly highest seed yield (6.90q/ha) was obtained with application of NPK 50:70:30+4tFYM/ha rather than other applications of organic and inorganic and control. This treatment also shows maximum number of pods per plants. Thus our study shows the positive impact of compost application and chemical fertilizer use.
