Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at Shradhay Bhagwati Singh Agriculture Research Farm (Hajipur), Chandra Bhanu Gupta krishi Mahavidyalaya, BKT, Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) during the Rabi season of 2021-22. The 16 treatments comprised 4 levels of nitrogen (0, 30, 60, 90 kg N/ha) and 4 levels of sulphur (0, 20, 40, 60 kg s/ha) were tested. Application of nitrogen from 30 to 90 kg /ha increased the all growth, yield attributes and yield significantly over no nitrogen treatments. Application of 90 kg N/ha recorded significantly highest values of growth, yield attributes and yields over rest of the treatments. Crop fertilized with 60 kg/ha sulphur produced the maximum growth, yield attributes and yield followed by 40 kg S/ha, 20 kg S/ha and no sulphur treatment. Increasing levels of nitrogen and sulphur increased the gross income, net income and benefit: cost ratio, however the maximum gross income, net income and benefit: cost ratio was recorded at 90 kg N/ha and 60 kg S/ha.
