Technology Interventions for Increasing Lentil Production in
India

• Short duration : IPL 81, JL1, JL3, KLS 218, WBL 77, Asha, Ranjan, HUL 57,Subrata
• Rice fallow : NDL 1, KLS 218, WBL 77, HUL 57• Large seeded : IPL 406, Sheri, JL 3, VL 507, L 4076, K 75 • Rust resistance : HUL 57, KLS 218, Narendra Masoor

Varieties with specific features
System Varieties
Rice Fallow NDL 1, HUL 57, KLS 218, PL 639
Intercropping with Autumn Sugarcane

Varieties for Specific Nitches
Production Technologies
Eastern U.P., Bihar- Second fortnight of NovemberM.P., Bundelkhand: First fortnight of OctoberChhattisgarh: Sowing depends on cessation of monsoon rain
and maturity of rice crop in utera system
Sowing and Seed Rate
Group Seed rate (kg/ha)
Additional Information
Bold seed 55-60 Seed rate to be enhanced by 10-25% in event of delayed sowing to enhance the plant population
In intercropping the seed rate to be decided according to proportionate area under each crop
Small seed 40-50
Seed Priming- a simple but effective trick
Soaking seeds in water for 6-8 hrs and sowing of primed seed at 8-10 days before harvest of rice
Improves germination, growth, plant stand and yield
Seed priming in potassium hydroxide solution (5%)
Seed priming in nutrient solution (0.01% ammonium molybdate)
Backstop Research
•Sowing methods for primed seed with minimum tillage
•Interaction between Molybednum in solution, Rhizobium and
seed priming in Acid soils
Fertilizer ApplicationFertilizer Application
Nutrients Fertilizer (kg/ha) Remarks
Major nutrients
18 kg N, 46 kg P2O5 , 20
kg K2O + 20 kg S /ha
•Soil application as basal placement is ideal.
•2% foliar application of Urea or DAP in rainfed conditions and rice fallows.
Micronutrients
• 25 kg Zn SO4/ha
• 10 kg borax/ha• 1-1.5 kg/ha ammonium
molybdate/ha
Micronutrients application in deficient areas based on soil test and deficiency symptoms.
The fertilizer application in intercropping should be based on proportionate area under each crop in the system.
Spray of 2% urea/ DAP @ pre-flowering stage
Backstop Research
•Nutrition formulation with micronutrients, growth hormones and PGPR
•Seed palleting with nutrients
Foliar Nutrition- a low cost effective intervention
Effective in both under relay cropping or zero tillage system
