ABSTRACT: Lentil (Lens culinarisMedik.) is an important grain Lentil is known to fix atmospheric nitrogen in the soillegume crop in the world. Nitrogen fixing capability of lentil can be enhanced by the supply of adequate amounts of nutrients, especially phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N).The fixing is done by bacteria (Rhizobium leguminosarum)that form nodules on the roots of lentils.Genotypes of lentil may showdifferential response to nutrients and combined application of N and P may have synergisticandantagonistic effects on crop yield.Therefore, field experiments were conducted during the crop cycle 2010–11at Chenaran locations, in northern east, Iran,to study the effect of integrated application of nitrogen(0 and 30 kg ha–1) and phosphorus (0 and 50 kg ha–1)on nodulation, nitrogen fixation, growth and yield of seven genotypes of lentil.Generally, number and dry weight of nodules and grain yields increased with increasing fertilizer levels.
