Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during Zaid 2021 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Niani Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology And Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with Ten treatments each replicated thrice on the basis of one year experimentation. The treatments consisted of Sulphur 45 kg/ha, Sulphur 60 kg/ha, Sulphur 75 kg/ha and three levels of spacing 25 cm x 25 cm, 20 cm x 20 cm, 30 cm x 10 cm the results showed that Treatment6 (Sulphur at 60 kg/ha + 30 x 10 cm,) was recorded significantly higher plant height (39.09 cm), maximum number of nodules/plant (8.07), higher plant dry weight (22.03 g/plant), Crop growth rate (5.33 g/m2/day), maximum number of pods, maximum number of kernels /pod, number of pods/plant (27.46), kernels/pod (2.06), test weight (39.20 g), pod yield (3.63 t/ha), seed yield (1.56 t/ha), haulm yield (5.92 t/ha), harvest index (21.44%) and shelling (69.04%).
