Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at All India Co-ordinated Wheat and Barley Improvement Project (AICW & BIP), Main Agricultural Research Station, UAS, Dharwad, to study the productivity and economics of irrigated wheat as influenced by nitrogen and sulphur levels. The field experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications and twelve treatment combinations involving three main and four subplots. The results indicated that, application of 125 kg N ha-1 along with sulphur 30 kg ha-1 has recorded significantly higher grain yield (42.47q ha-1), gross return (Rs. 92.756 ha-1), net return (Rs. 54064 ha-1) and sedimentation value (47.23 ml) and was on par with application of 100 kg N ha-1 along with sulphur level @ 20 kg ha-1. However, significantly lower grain yield (23.02 q ha-1), gross return (Rs. 51039 ha-1), net return (Rs. 14228 ha-1) and sedimentation value (45.48 ml) were observed with application of nitrogen at 75 kg ha-1 along with 0 kg S ha-1.
