Effect of Different Level of Phosphorus and Sulphur on Growth and Yield Attributes of Sesame
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different level of phosphorus and sulphur on yield attributes and yield of sesame during kharif 2011-12 at Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Latur.The soil of the experimental plot was clay texture, low in available nitrogen (186.8 kg ha -1 ), medium in available phosphorous (15.9 kg ha -1 ), high in available potassium (343.2 kg ha -1 ) and slightly alkaline (pH 8.02) in reaction.The experiment field was uniform and well levelled.Gross plot size was 5.4×4.2m 2 and net plot size was 4.5×3.6 m 2 respectively.The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications.The spacing 675 cm 2 and recommended dose of fertilizers (50:25:00 NKK ha -1 ) were used.The treatments consists of three levels each of phosphorus and sulphur.The phosphorus applied as 20 kg P 2 0 5 ha -1 , 25 kg P 2 0 5 ha -1 , 30 kg P 2 0 5 ha -1 and 20 kg S ha -1 , 25 kg S ha -1 , 30 kg S ha -1 .The application of 30 kg P 2 O 5 was recorded significantly higher growth and yield attributing character over the rest of the phosphorus levels.Among three sulphurtreatment 30 kg sulphur ha -1 was recorded significantly higher growth and yield attributing characters over the application of 20 and 25 kg sulphur ha -1 8.02) in reaction.The climate of Marathwada region on annual basis can be classified as semi-arid type.The experiment field was uniform and well levelled.Gross plot size was Sesame, phosphorus, sulphur, dry matter, yield
