Response of three pulse species (chickpea, field pea, lentil) to phosphorus and nitrogen rate at Trangie 2013

Abstract

Key findings • Grain yield was significantly increased for all three pulse species as applied phosphorus was increased up to 20 kg P/ha, on a red chromosol soil with moderate soil P level at Trangie in 2013. • Chickpea and field pea significantly out yielded the lentil species, which may have been disadvantaged due to being sown later than optimum in comparison to the other pulse species. • Grain yield response to applied nitrogen was not significant in this trial.
