Influence of Seed Priming and Foliar Nutrition on Quality and Nutrient Uptake of Relay Grass Pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) in Gangetic Plains of West Bengal

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is a wonderful pulse for raising as relay crop under rice fallow situation (Bhowmick et al., 2014) with minimal external inputs (Nazrul and Shaheb, 2015). Due to its outstanding ability to withstand any kind of climatic adversities as well as poorly fertile soil, grass pea crop is an ideal legume for the resource-poor farmers (Dixit et al., 2016). This crop is booned with great nutritive values (Bhagat et al., 2015). The dried seeds of lathyrus contain 22.7-29.6 % unrefined protein, 56.6-61.0 % carbohydrates, 0.6-1 g fat, 1.5-2.3 g fibre, 90110 mg calcium, 629 mg potassium and 317International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 5 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com
