Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2019-20 at the Rajaula Research Farm, Faculty of Agricultural Science, Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya Chitrakoot, Satna, (M.P.). Interaction effect of Sulphur and Zinc on growth and yield of mustard (Cicer arietinum L.) under rainfed condition. On a study sandy loam soil having low status of available nitrogen, low status of available phosphorus and medium status of available potassium. The treatment consisted of three levels of Sulphur (0, 15 and 25 kg S ha^-1) and three levels of zinc (0, 10 and 15 kg Zn ha^-1) applied from gypsum and zinc sulphate respectively. On the basis of the results emanated from present investigation, it could be concluded that growth parameter i.e., plant height, primary and secondary branches, length of root, no. of root nodules and yield attributes i.e., no. pod plant^-1, no. of seed pod^-1, test weight (1000 grain) and productivity parameter i.e., grain yield (q ha^-1) were increased with increase in level of Sulphur and zinc individually as well as in various combination. Chickpea variety JG-14 was grown with the recommended agronomic practices. The synergistic effect of Sulphur and Zinc was reported on plant height, no. of pod plant^-1, no. of seed pod^-1 and seed yield.
