Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2018 and 2019 at Research and Extension Center, Gaja, College of Forestry, VCSG Uttarakhand University of Horticulture and Forestry, Ranichauri, Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India to investigate the response of sulphur fertilization on yield attributing, seed yield and economics of grain amaranth. Two varieties and four fertilizer doses were tested in split plot design with three replications. The data indicated that among the varieties, PRA-3 performed well as compared to Annapurna. However among fertilizer doses, RDF + Sulphur @ 20 kg/ha showed maximum growth, yield attributes, seed yield and economics of grain amaranth.
