Abstract: This study aimed to examine the impact of sulphur and boron on the growth and yield of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), an important pulse crop grown worldwide. A randomized full block design with three replications was used to carry out a field experiment with different combinations of boron (1.5 kg/ha, 2 kg/ha, and 2.5 kg/ha) and sulphur (10 kg/ha, 20 kg/ha, and 30 kg/ha). The treatment of boron and sulphur both had a substantial impact on the growth and yield characteristics of lentils, according to the data. The application of sulphur at 30 kg/ha and boron at 2.5 kg/ha in combination (Treatment 9) produced the most notable improvements, with notable increases in plant height, nodule count, dry weight, pod count, number of seeds per pod, seed weight, seed yield, and stover yield. In particular, Treatment 9 yielded the highest recorded values for plant height (28.15 cm), number of nodules (29.67), plant dry weight (14.19 g/plant), number of pods per plant (142.60), number of seeds per pod (2.07), largest 1000-seed weight (23.57 g), and stover yield (3.16 t/ha) as well as the highest seed yield (2.08 t/ha). These findings imply that combining treatments of sulphur and boron might greatly improve lentil growth and yield, thereby improving productivity and economic returns for farmers.
