Effect of foliar application of calcium-cum-magnesium in differentconcentrations (0, 100, 200, 300 mol m-3) on the chemical composition and qualitytraits of seed of three lentil cultivars viz. Masoor-local, Masoor-85 and Masoor-93was studied under field on a sandy-clay loam soil for two years. Seed proteinconcentration was significantly maximum (24.98 %) in Masoor-93 while P,K, Ca, Mgand phytic acid content of the seed did not vary significantly among the threecultivars. Cooking quality score was also the lowest in Masoor-93 indicating itscooking quality superior to other two cultivars. By contrast, foliar application ofCa + Mg at the rate of 200 mol m-3 significantly improved the phytic acid contentof the seed and its cooking quality over control but seed protein concentrationand P, K, Ca and Mg contents were not affected to a significant level.
