Abstract: The present experiment entitled “Effects of phosphorous and biofertilizer application on yield and quality of Lentil (Lens culinaris M.) under middle zone of U.P.” was carried out at Shradheya Bhagwati Singh Agriculture Research Farm, Chandra Bhanu Gupta Agriculture PG college, (BKT, Lucknow) during the rabi season of 2021-22.The experiment consisted with four levels of phosphorous i.e., (0, 30, 60 and 90 Kg/ha) and three biofertilizers viz., Rhizobium, PSB and Rhizobium+PSB thus, having 12 treatments combinations was planned in randomized block design (Factorial experiment). Application of phosphorous from 0 to 90 kg/ha caused significant impact on yield attributes, yield and quality of Lentil. Maximum number of branches, number of grains per pods, number of seeds per pod, grain weight per plant, grain yield, straw yield, protein content and protein yield were noted under the influence of 90 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1 which was significantly superior to that of 30 kg and 0 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1. Among biofertilizer treatments Rhizobium + PSB showed its superiority on above traits over PSB and rhizobium treatments.
