Effect of different levels of sulphur and zinc on soil health and yield of greengram (Vigna radiata L.) Var. Patidar-111

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2017-2018 to study the effect of different levels of Sulphur and Zinc on soil health and yield of green gram (Vigna radiata L.) Var.Patidar-111 on crop research farm of Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry, Naini Agricultural Institute, Allahabad. The design applied for statistical analysis was carried out with factorial randomized block design factors with three levels of Sulphur 0, 15 and 30 kg ha-1 and Zinc 0, 1.5 and 3.0 kg ha-1. The effect of Sulphur and Zinc on the soil physico chemical properties of which Organic carbon 0.48%, Available Nitrogen 346.17 kg ha-1, Phosphorus 34.58 kg ha-1, Potassium 226.29 kg ha-1, Pore space 50.86%, pH 7.23, Sulphur 20.13 ppm and Zinc 13.97 mg kg -1 Bulk density 1.07 Mg m-3,Particle density 2.51 Mg m-3 and EC 0.24 dS m-1 were recorded.
