Effect of Sulphur and Zinc on Growth and Yield of Black Gram (Phaseolus mungo L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during Zaid (summer) season of 2023 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy. The treatments consisted of 3 levels of Sulphur (10, 20 and 30 kg/ha) and 3 levels of zinc (10kg/ha, 0.1% and 0.2% foliar application) and a control. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 10 treatment and replicated thrice. Application of Sulphur (30 kg/ha) + Zinc (10kg/ha) (treatment 9) recorded higher Plant height, higher plant dry weight, higher number of Pods/Plant, higher number of seeds/pod, higher test weight and higher seed yield. The (treatment 9) also recorded Maximum benefit cost ratio (2.41)
