Abstract:
An experiment was conducted during kharif season of the year 2021 at Agronomy Instructional Farm, C. P. College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar to study the “Effect of sulphur sources and levels on yield, quality and nutrient uptake by kharif groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in loamy sand”. Nine treatment combinations comprising three sources of sulphur (Bentonite sulphur, liquid sulphur and gypsum) and three levels of sulphur (15, 30 and 45 kg ha^-1) were evaluated in randomized block design with four replication. An application of sulphur @ 45 kg S ha^-1 through gypsum recorded significantly higher pod yield, haulm yield; protein content, oil content in kernel; uptake of N, P, K and S by kernel and haulm of groundnut crop over rest of treatments. An application of sulphur improved the available sulphur status in soil.
