Abstract

A study was conducted during Rabi season of 2018-19 at three different stations of the of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (Joydebpur, Dinajpur and Bogra) to study the performance of three selected lentil genotypes (BLX-010014-9, ILI-5143, BARI and Moshur-3) under drought and irrigated conditions. The experimental design was randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Plant height, pod plant-1, seed pod-1, thousand seed weight and seed yield varied significantly under drought (rainfed) and irrigated situations in both the research areas. The highest plant height was found in BLX-010014-9 followed by BARI Masur 3 and ILI-5143 under both the situation. BLX-010014-9 gave the highest Number of pods plant-1 (45.63) followed by the genotype ILI-5143 (42.13).   The highest number of seeds pod-1 was observed with genotype BLX-010014-9 (1.96) under irrigated condition whereas,  the lowest number of seeds pod-1 was found in BARI Masur-3 (1.12) under drought condition. So, it might be concluded that BLX-0100114-9 is more drought tolerant among the tested genotypes.
