Enhancing nutrient use efficiencies (NUEs) is an important factor in achieving the long-term sustainability of a production system. Our two-year experiment was aimed at accessing NUEs integration macro- and micronutrient fertilization responses three lentil (Lens culinaris) cultivars. Three cultivars were planted main plots, ten combinations used sub-plots: N1, control; N2, 100% recommended dos...

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) is also known as "massoor". A member of the Leguminaceae family for their high protein and nutrient content. Wilt incited by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis can result in significant yield losses upto 50% lentil farmers. Chemical management through fungicides reduces crop significantly but has some environmental drawbacks conflicts on human health instead other met...

Morphological characters and Electrophoretic SDS-PAGE analysis were performed to established genetic diversity for six important lentil varieties of Bangladesh and to elucidate their genetic relationships. Analyses of variance of morphological characters showed significant differences among varieties. The resulted protein banding pattern showed 57.12% polymorphism and could be considered as gen...

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), a nutritious traditional pulse crop, has been experiencing a declining area of production in South East Asia, due to lower yields, and marginal soils. The objective of this study was to determine whether selenium (Se) fertilization can increase lentil yield, productivity, and seed quality (both seed Se concentration and speciation). Selenium was provided to five l...

Genotype x environment interaction was evaluated under eight environments during lentil growing season of 2013/14 and 2014/15 for grain yield and their component characters of twenty one promising genotypes selected from previous trial of lentil. The variances estimated due genotype, environment and genotype x environment interaction were found to be different significantly for all the characte...
