Abstract: The experiment conducted during Rabi season of 2015-16 at student instructional farm of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur to study the Effect of sulphur, zinc, boron and iron on growth and yield of wheat [Triticum aestivum L.] (Variety K-402). The experiment consist 10 treatments in randomized block design viz., T1 NPK (150:60:40kg/ha) only, T2 NPK + Sulphur (25kg/ha), T3 NPK + Zinc (5kg/ha), T4 NPK + Boron (1.0kg/ha), T5 NPK + Iron (5kg/ha), T6 NPK + FYM (10t/ha), T7 NPK + Azotobacter + PSB, T8 NPK + FYM + Azotobacter + PSB, T9 NPK + S + B + Zn + Fe, T10 NPK + FYM + S + B + Zn + Fe. The treatment NPK + FYM + S + Zn + BO + Fe treatment found superior in terms of plant height, yield attributes and yield. The maximum grain yield (53.05 q/ha.) recorded under NPK + FYM + S + Zn + Bo + Fe and maximum straw yield (80.08 q/ha) recorded under NPK + FYM + Azoto + PSB treatment the increment in grain yield evaluated 34.13% compare to control treatment.
