Influence of nitrogen and sulphur on growth, yield and oil content of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) grown in spring season
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: An experiment was conducted at New Delhi during 1994 and1995 in sandy loam soil low in available N and S. Nitrogen application up to 80 kglha signifi- cantly improved the growth, yield attributes and seed and oil yields of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). Sulphur at 30 kglha significantly increased the number of seeds and seed weight per capitulum resulting in significantly higher seed yields. Application of 60 kg Slha also increased the seed and oil yields in both the years. Optimum doses of N and S were 112 and 53.6 kglha respectively.
