The study aimed to Optimizing Lentil (Lens culinaris) Yield Through Irrigation Frequency at the Experimental Fields of Sharda University, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, during the rabi season of 2023-2024. A split-plot Design with nine Treatments and three replications was employed, which includes T1: M1S1; T2: M1S2; T3: M1S3; T4: M2S1; T5: M2S2; T6: M2S3; T7: M3S1; T8: M3S2; T9: M3S3. Measurements were taken for plant parameters, yield analyses and soil analyses. Results indicated that integration of second irrigation and 50% Organic manure+ 50% R.D.F. (T6) demonstrated significantly higher growth and productivity in lentil compared to other treatments. This combination led to increased plant height, dry matter accumulation and higher yields, including the number of pods and grains per plant. Moreover, soil analyses revealed improvements in soil pH, organic carbon, and nutrient levels with this integrated approach. Additionally, effective crop management practices, such as timely irrigation, weed management, and disease control, contributed to the overall success of lentil cultivation. These findings underscore the significance of optimizations in integrating fertilization strategies, incorporating both organic and inorganic amendments along with rhizobium culture, for maximizing lentil productivity while ensuring soil health and sustainability.
