Effect of graded levels of sulphur on growth, yield and economics of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill].

摘要

A field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2006 to study the effect of graded levels of sulphur on growth, yield and economics of soybean. Among the various treatments, maximum plant height (60.9 cm), number of green leaves (2.5), leaf area (149.5 cm2), leaf area index (0.49), leaf area duration (82.0), total dry matter production (23.11 g), pod yield (27.5 q/ha), seed yield (20.5 q/ha) and stalk yield (40.5 q/ha), gross returns (Rs. 41,000), net returns (Rs. 28,020) and B:C ratio (2.15) were recorded in application of sulphur at the rate of 40 kg/ha.
