Effects of different zinc levels on grain yield and some phenological characteristics of red lentil (Lens culinaris Medic.) under arid conditions

This research aimed to determine the effects of different zinc (Zn) levels on the grain yield and some phenological characteristicsof the Fırat-87 red lentil variety (Lens culinaris Medic.). The study was conducted during the winter months of 2013–2014 and 2014–2015 in Zn-deficit areas of Şanlıurfa, Turkey. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replicates. TheFırat-87 lentil variety and Zn sulfate (ZnSO4.7H2O) were used as the plant material and Zn source, respectively. The Zn levels used werethe control (0 kg ha–1 Zn), 5 kg ha–1 Zn, 10 kg ha–1 Zn, 15 kg ha–1 Zn, 20 kg ha–1 Zn, and 25 kg ha–1 Zn. The Zn levels were significant (P≤ 0.01) for the harvest index, 1000-kernel weight, protein rate, and grain yield. All of the tested characteristics were positively affectedby increasing applications of Zn. The grain, leaf, and soil Zn contents were higher with increasing levels of Zn. Although the highestgrain yield was 15 kg ha–1 Zn in both years, according to the regression analysis, the optimum Zn level was 17 kg ha–1 Zn. However, theeconomic Zn level was determined as 15 kg ha–1 Zn.
