Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of thiourea application on the productivity of lentil in rain fed conditions of central India. The lentil crop was grown with different magnitudes of the thiourea. The results of the study revealed that, the applications of thiourea @ 500 ppm followed by thiourea @ 1000 ppm at pre flowering and pod initiation stages were significantly improved the growth and yield of lentil. The plant height ( cm) under the treatment with thiourea @ 500 ppm followed by thiourea @1000ppm at pre flowering and pod initiation was observed significantly higher among the all other treatments. | Response of lentil to thiourea application under rain fed conditions of central India
