EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SOURCES AND LEVELS OF SULPHUR ON YIELD AND NUTRIENT UPTAKE BY GARLIC (ALLIUM SATIVUM)

摘要

An experiment was conducted at Regional Research Station and Faculty of 'Agriculture, Wadura, Sopore (J&K) during Rabi 2000-01 & 2001-02, to evaluate the effect of sources and levels of sulphur on garlic. The bulb yield was highest (169.94 q ha~(-1))at 50 kg S ha~(-1). The contents of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur, 1.36, 0.64 and 1.08, respectively being highest at 100 kg S ha~(-1), Amongst the sulphur carriers, gypsum was superior over elemental sulphur in bulb yield as well as nutrient uptake.
