All rights reserved.An experiment was carried out during the winter (rabi) seasons of 2017–18 and 2018–19 at Patna, Bihar, to identify the most suitable lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) cultivars, which can perform better in zero-till condition of lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.)–fallow production system. Results revealed that, among the lentil cultivars, ‘Pusa Masoor 5’ (2.20 t/ha) had higher seed yield and remained at par with ‘Pusa Vaibhav’, ‘IPL 81’, ‘HUL 57’, ‘Arun’ and ‘DPL 15’. With respect to economic feasibility, ‘Pusa Masoor 5’ resulted in significantly higher gross returns (`123 × 103 /ha), net returns (`92 × 103 /ha) and benefit: cost ratio (3.9), respectively, as compared to ‘IPL 316’, ‘DPL 62’, ‘Ranjan’ and ‘K 75’. Thus ‘Pusa Masoor 5’ followed by ‘Pusa Vaibhav’ proved more stable and promising cultivars than the others in augmenting productivity as well as profitability under zero-till condition of rice–fallows production system of eastern India.
