Response of toria (Brassica campestris subsp. oleifera var. toria) to sources and levels of sulphur fertilization
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Shillongani during rabi 1995-96 and 1996-97 to find out suitable source and levels of sulphur on toria (Brassica campestris L. subsp. oleifera var. toria) variety TS 38 under rainfed conditions. Sulphur fertilization significantly improved most of the growth, yield attributes, seed yield (20.1%) in both the years as well as oil content (2.5%) during 1995-96 as compared to no sulphur application. Application of gypsum and elemental sulphur indicated their superiority in increasing the seed yield over pyrite as source of sulphur. The response per kg of sulphur applied reached a maximum of 9.4 kg seeds at 20 kg Slha and it decreased thereafter to 5.8 and 4.1 kg seeds at 40 and 60 kg Slha respectively.
