Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out at KVK, Kawardha farm, Kabirdham (C.G.) to determine the effect of sulphur and boron application on growth and yield of soybean. Experiment comprised of four levels of sulphur viz. 0, 15, 30 and 45 kg ha^-1 and four levels of boron viz. 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 kg ha^-1. Yield attributes and yield of soybean were significantly influenced by different sulphur levels and maximum yield (21.04 kg ha^-1 seed yield and 22.55 kg ha^-1 stover yield) was observed with application of 30 kg S ha^-1 and it was closely followed by 45 kg S ha^-1 (19.67 kg ha^-1 seed yield and 22.20 kg ha^-1 stover yield) but were statistically at par with each other. Among boron levels 1.0 kg B ha^-1 was superior to others for getting maximum soybean yield (18.82 kg ha^-1 seed yield and 21.05 kg ha^-1 stover yield). Interaction of sulphur and boron levels had no significant effect on different growth and yield parameters.
