Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of the year 2019 at Agronomy Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, C. P. College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat to study the "Effect of phosphorus and sulphur on growth, yield, quality and nutrient uptake by greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]”. This experiment was conducted in randomized block design, the treatments comprised of three levels of phosphorus (20, 40 and 60 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1) as one factor and three levels of sulphur (20, 40 and 60 kg S ha^-1) as another factor. The results revealed that an application of 60 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1 recorded significantly higher phosphorus content in seed as well as stover and S content in stover, higher uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur by seed as well as stover. An application of 60 kg S ha^-1 recorded significantly higher sulphur content in seed as well as stover, uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur by seed and stover. Interaction effect of 40 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1 + 60 kg S ha^-1 recorded significantly higher phosphorus and sulphur uptake by seed of greengram.
