Var. ABV - 04 under Randomized block design comprising of 9 treatments of which treatments (T1-T9) with different combination of Organic manure like FYM, Vermicompost and Poultry manure along with Sources of Sulphur like Ammonium sulphate, Pyrite and Gypsum which are replicated thrice. The result revealed that vermicompost 5t/ha + Pyrite 45Kg/ha recorded Maximum plant height (200.20cm), Highest plant dry weight (46.29gm), Earhead Length (23.00cm), number of Grains/earhead (1975.67), Grain yield (2723Kg/ha), Stover yield (3839.80 Kg/ha).
