Abstract:
A field experiment was executed during Zaid season of 2020-21 at crop research farm of SHUATS, Prayagraj to study about the influence of different methods of Sulphur and Calcium on growth and yield of Groundnut. The experiment was laid out in most commonly encountered Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replication of each treatment for all traits. In view of this experiment two methods are applied Sulphur and Calcium. Sulphur levels S₁(15 kg/ha), S₂(30 kg/ha), S₃(45 Kg/ha) Calcium C1(20kg/ha); C(40kg/ha),C3(60kg/ha). Results were revealed that maximum number of Plant height (73.56), dry weight (32.06 g/plant), effective nodules/plant (19.46), no of pods /plant (21.33), no. of kernels/pod(2), Seed index (42.80 gm) were found to be significantly higher with application of treatment Sulphur 45kg/ha + Calcium 60kg/ha as compared to the other treatments. Maximum values were recorded higher in the application of Sulphur 45kg/ha + Calcium 60kg/ha in plant height (73.56 cm), kernel yield (2.17 t/ha) and Haulm Yield. (5.60) harvest index (36.40%) was recorded. Therefore, I concluded that the Sulphur 45kg/ha+ Calcium 60kg/ha can produce more no of pods/plant and kernels/pod and will be economically effective.
