Field trials were conducted during the 1980-85 seasons on loamy sand soil at the Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. The best sowing time for lentil was between 20 Oct and 10 Nov. The efficiency of Rhizobium inoculation in increasing yield was highest up to 10 Nov. The response of seed inoculation to lentil decreased when sowing was done on 30 Nov and there was no effect of Rhizobium concerning 20 Dec sowing. The application of Rhizobium and phosphorus improved nodulation, nitrogenase activity, and yield. A positive interaction between Rhizobium and phosphorus was observed. The combination of Rhizobium and 20 kg P2O5/ha gave almost equal yield to that obtained with 40 kg P2O5/ha without Rhizobium inoculation. Pre-emergence application of Methabenzthiazuron at 1.05 kg a.i./ha and Terbutryne at 0.6 kg a.i./ha controlled weeds effectively and produced grain yield almost equal to two hoeings done 30 and 60 days after sowing. These herbicides did not show any adverse effect on the efficacy of Rhizobium.
