Abstract:
Field experiments were conducted during kharif season of 2018, 2019 and 2020 to investigate the effects of different sulphur application rates (0, 30, 40, 60, 80 and 100 kg/ha) on the yield and yield parameters of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in the South Gujarat under irrigated condition. Sulphur levels were found to significantly influence number of bolls, seed cotton yield and lint yield. Seed oil content although increased with sulphur levels but failed to produce any significant difference. With respect to sulphur content in cotton seed and stalk was found to influence significantly due to sulphur levels. Application of sulphur significantly influenced the uptake of sulphur by seed, stalk and total uptake. Significant increase in sulphur content in soil was observed at both the depths due to application of gypsum.
