Aims

To investigate the response of lentil to application of macro and micro-nutrients on a sandhill and swale soil.

Key messages
  • A significant reduction in biomass was observed when phosphorus was omitted from the fertilizer on both soil types, however grain yield was reduced only on the sandhill, not swale.
  • The dry growing season conditions may have reduced movement and uptake of the applied macro and micro-nutrients by the crop. Hence, results should be treated with caution.
