“…Higher number of pods/plant was observed with the application of gypsum (400 kg/ha) might be due to its vital role in energy storage and transformation, carbohydrate metabolism and activation of enzymes also increase the photosynthetic activity of the plant. Similar results were reported by Banu et al [15].…”

A field experiment was conducted during Zaid 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) to study treatments consisting of Varieties viz. K-1812, K-6 and K-Amaravati and three levels of Gypsum viz. 200, 300, 400 kg/ha. The results revealed that treatment 3 (K-1812 (Lepakshi) + Gypsum (400 kg/ha) recorded significantly higher number of nodules/plant (52.00), higher dry weight (30.96 g), crop growth rate (30.63 g/m2/day), relative growth rate (0.0447 g/g/day), maximum number of pods/plant (39.93), maximum number of kernels/pod (2.0), Shelling percentage (72.4%), Pod yield (3.67 t/ha), higher seed yield (2.72 t/ha), higher haulm yield (4.66 t/ha) and higher harvest index (31.55%), maximum gross return (1,54,260.00 INR/ha), maximum net return (1,04,999.00 INR/ha) and maximum benefit cost ratio (2.13).

Background: Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed and an important food crop of the world, ranking in 4th place as an important source of edible oil and as an important source of vegetable protein in 3rd place. However, the preferred pH for growing of groundnut is a pH of (6.5-7) which is slightly acidic or neutral. So for the crop to grow in a favorable soil pH, liming is required. Groundnut being an oilseed crop requires fertilization for high crop production. The farmers though aware of the fertilization in crops, are confined mostly in NPK fertilizers and negligence especially in sulphur fertilizer is common, however sulphur in oilseed crop is one of the key elements required to produce protein, oil and flavored compounds as well as to ensure quality. Methods: A field experiment was conducted in the Experimental Research Farm of School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development (SASRD), Nagaland University during the kharif season 2018 entitled “Effect of lime and levels of sulphur in nutrient content and uptake by Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)”. The experimental design was split plot design with three replications. The main plot treatments consisted of two lime levels: L0: lime @ 0 t ha-1, L1: lime @ 3 t ha-1 and the sub- plot treatments consisted of five sulphur levels: S0: sulphur @ 0 kg ha-1, S1: sulphur @ 10 kg ha-1, S2: sulphur @ 20 kg ha-1, S3: sulphur @ 30 kg ha-1, S4: sulphur @ 40 kg ha-1. Result: The study showed that application of lime and sulphur, along with recommended dose of fertilizer NPK (20:60:40) showed increased yield and an increase in N, P, K and S content in groundnut, resulting in a significant increase in the uptake of N, P, K and S by plant.

“…Several researchers have determined the S need for oilseed crops in the field [17,18,19,20,21,22]. The Sulphur requirement of oilseeds can be satisfied by using a number a S-containing substances including phosphogypsum, elemental S, gypsum and pyrite.…”

India is a significant importer of edible oils and an important producer of oilseed. India stands as fourth leading oilseeds producing countries after USA, China and Brazil. Oilseed has become one of the most valuable agricultural commodities. Sulphur (S) plays an important role in determining the quality of oil seed from these crops. It is referred to as the fourth major nutrient after N, P and K because crops need sulphur slightly less than they require P. It is required for the formation of proteins, vitamins and chlorophyll. It is an integral part of amino acid such as cystine, cysteine and methionine which are essential components of protein. Plant can absorb sulphur in the form of sulphate (SO4 2-) which is decomposes into sulphur. It is a factor for the determination of higher yield seed and quality of seed that content oil in oilseed crops. Since, sulphur is immobile in plants, it must be continuously supplied from crop emergence till maturity. So, reduced yield can come sulphur shortage at any stage of growth. It can be overcome by supplying sulphur containing fertilizers to plant by soil application and foliar application. Among the source of sulphur, elemental sulphur and gypsum are widely utilized in sulphur deficiency.
