The studies were undertaken to determine the effect of NPK on seed yield and quality of lentil variety Masoor85. Fertilizer combinations applied were 25-0-0, 0-50-0, 0-0-50, 25-50-0, 25-0-50, 0-50-50, 25-50-50 kg NPK per hectare and control. The data revealed that combined application of NPK, NP and PK was more effective in increasing number of pods per plant and 1000-seed weight than single application of N, P or K. Fertilizer application at 25-50-50 kg per hectare produced higher yield and protein contents in seed.
