Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the winter season of 1994-95 and 19 95-96 at Kumarganj, Faizabad, to study the effect of genotype, seeding meth od and diammonium phosphate (DAP) levels on yield, protein yield and nutrie nt uptake by lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus). The genotype 'Pant L 639' wit h seed rate of 60 kg/ha coupled with narrow row spacing (20 cm) recorded si gnificantly higher yield, protein yield and nitrogen and phosphorus uptake. Application of DAP up to 100 kg/ha significantly increased the seed yield, protein yield and nutrient uptaken.
