Response of wheat (Triticum aestivum) to nitrogen and sulphur and their residual effect on succeeding pearlmillet (Pennisetum gluucum)
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: An experiment was conducted during 1996 97 and 1997 98 to study the effect of nitrogen and sulphur on productivity of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori Paol.] and succeeding pearlm llet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.emend. Stuntz]. Application of 120 kg Nlha enhanced the grain and straw yields of wheat by 63.5 and 30.1 %, respectively, over 30 kg Nlha. Increasing levels of sulphur up to 40 kglha increased the grain and straw yields of wheat by 26.28 and 13.9% respectively, over 0 kg Slha. The grain and stover yields of succeeding pearlmillet were enhanced by 0.80 and 2.00 qlha, respectively, at 40 kg Slha applied to preceding wheat over 17.2 and 42.9 qlha obtained under 0 kg Slha. Further, application of 40 kg Slha significantly improved the available P and S content in soil after harvest of wheat and pearlmillet. Application of nitrogen to wheat did not bring any change in grain and stover yields of succee ding pearlmillet and soil fertility.
