Abstract: Background: Nanoparticles treated as “magic bullets” containing nano-fertilizer which will trigger specific cellular organelles in plant to release their contents. Nanoparticle’s behaviour, mobility and their smart delivery system has a strong bearing on the growth and yield of crops. Study Place: A pot study was conducted at net house of Micronutrient Research Scheme, AAU, Anand during kharif season of 2021-22 to study the “Effect of sulphur nanoparticles on growth and yield of soybean”. Methodology: A pot study was conducted at net house of Micronutrient Research Scheme, AAU, Anand during kharif season of 2021-22 to study the “Effect of sulphur nanoparticles on growth and yield of soybean” at SNPs/kg @1 to 8 ppm soil and ES @ 4, 6 & 8 ppm S/kg soil. The pot experiment was laid out in a control randomized block design with four replications comprising of 12 treatments. Results: Application of 8 ppm SNPs/kg soil in soybean resulted in significantly higher grain yield and nutrient content in comparison to control and other treatments. Thus, the study recommended the correct concentration of SNPs (8 ppm) for enhancing soybean production.
