STUDY OF SELECTED LENTIL GENOTYPES AGAINST RAINFED IN BARIND DROUGHT

A field experiment was conducted in the farmer’s field of FSRD site, Kadamshahar, Godagai, Rajshahi during rabi 2013-14 to select lentil genotypes against drought stress through farmers selection under Barind environments. There are three treatments, farmers practice (T₁), irrigation (T₂) and control (T₃) & one lentil variety and two genotypes viz. BARI Masur 3, BLX-01049 and ILI-5143 were tested in the farmer’s field of High Barind Tract. Among the lentil genotypes BLX01049 gave the highest seed yield (1.29 t ha^-1) that is followed by ILI-5143 (1.15 t ha^-1). The lowest yield (1.01 t ha^-1) was obtained from BARI Masur 3. Considering the seed yield line BLX-01049 are the suitable for lentil production in High Barind Tract.
