Abstract:The study was undertaken to find out variety wise adoption rate of lentil in Bangladesh through expert elicitation procedure. Many varieties have been developed by BARI and BINA but in details of varietal information and adoption information database was not developed which is very important and valuable for the scientist and policy planner. From all over the Bangladesh, 12 experts was invited to share their valuable knowledge and experience on lentil cultivation and adoption in the country. The average age of… Show more
“…The symbiotic parameters i.e. nodulation, nodule dry weight, and leghaemoglobin content are positively influenced by phosphorus application (Rashid et al, 2018). So, proper application of P to lentil facilitates the earlier formation of nodules, increasing their numbers which enhances the nitrogen fixation (Gahoonia et al, 2006).…”

“…The increase in the root surface area enhances the phosphorus acquisition from phosphorus-deficient soils, however, the varieties having prolific root hair formation are better in the acquisition of those nutrients (P, K, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Mo) which are less available in soil (Gahoonia et al, 2006). The majority of soils under lentil cultivation in AEZ 28 of Bangladesh are low to medium in available phosphorus, therefore, they respond well to the recommended level of phosphorus fertilizers (Shil et al, 2016;Rashid et al, 2018). There was, therefore, a need to study the effect of P fertilizer levels on the growth and yield of lentil genotypes.…”
An adequate supply of phosphorus (P) is important for the proper growth and yield of lentil, particularly in poor fertile soil. As such an experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of phosphorus (P) fertilizer application on growth, yield, and yield components of lentil at the agronomy research field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during 2013-201. Four lentil varieties (BARI Masur-4, BARI Masur-5, BARI Masur-6, and BARI Masur-7) and four levels of P (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1) were used in this experiment as treatment variables. Interaction of cultivar and P levels showed a significant influence on all the plant characters studied except plant height and branch production. The highest seed yield (1.98 t ha-1) was obtained from the combination of BARI Masur-7 with 40 kg P2O5 ha-1, and the lowest (1.08 t ha-1) was from BARI Masur-5 with 0 kg P2O5 ha-1. Addition of P fertilizer beyond 40 kg ha-1 decreased seed yield irrespective of varieties. Results revealed that the application of P fertilizer offers a large scope for obtaining a higher yield of lentil in Bangladesh. However, the application of P fertilizer at the rate of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 would be the optimum for achieving higher yield irrespective of varieties.
