A field experiment “Effect of seed priming and weed management on lentil under rainfed condition of Peshawar” was conducted at Agriculture University Peshawar, during rabi 2018-19. The study was carried out in RCB design with three replications. Markaz-9 lentil variety was used. The size of the plot was 1.2 x 2.5 m with row to row distance of 30 cm. Seed priming and weed management had significant effect on  emergence m^-2, number of pods plant^-1, biological yield (kg ha^-1) and grain yield (kg ha^-1) of lentil crop while effect of seed priming and weed management on number of seeds pod^-1 was non-significant. Seed priming (SP) with KNO₃ had significantly more number of pods plant^-1 (25.5), control had biological yield kg ha^-1 (1927.2) and hydro-priming had grain yield kg ha^-1(628.7). Weed management (WM) with weeding at 30 days after sowing (DAS) had significantly more number of pods plant^-1 (27.7) and plant height (43.8 cm) while mulching have higher biological yield kg ha^-1(2049.6) and grain yield kg ha^-1(614.4). Water treatment and mulching had significantly increased all these parameters. Hydro-priming with mulching recommended for lentil under the rainfed condition of Peshawar.
