 ABSTRACT

The field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2019-20 to find out the effect of phosphorus and Sulphur on growth and yield of green gram, at the Research Farm, School of Agriculture, ITM University, Gwalior, (M.P.). The experiment consisted of randomize block design having Factorial arrangement with three replications. In this experiment, 12 treatment combinations including four levels of phosphorus as P0- 0 kg/ha, P1- 25 kg/ha, P2- 45 kg/ha and P3- 65 kg/ha, while three levels of Sulphur were tested are S1- 10 kg/ha, S2- 20 kg/ha and S3- 30 kg/ha. During the experiment, it was found that phosphorus and Sulphur significantly affected plant height, number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, number of root nodules per plant, grain and Stover yield of green gram at maximum crop growth stage. Highest plant height, number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant and number of root nodules per plant at maximum crop growth stage (56.27 cm, 11.96, 11.98, and 17.98, respectively) was recorded in plots treated with phosphorus @ 60 kg/ha combined application with Sulphur @ 60 kg/ha. Similarly, resulted in highest grain and Stover yield (11.47 and 28.46 q/ha, respectively) recorded under same treatment combination of phosphorus @ 65 kg/ha combined application with Sulphur @ 30 kg/ha. It was concluded from the results that application of phosphorus @ 65 kg/ha combined application with Sulphur @ 30 kg/ha improved growth as well as grain yield of green gram.

Keywords: Green gram, Sulphur, Phosphorus, Root nodules, Stover yield.
