Abstract

The experiment “Effect of different levels of phosphorous and sulphur on growth and yield of Cow pea (Vigna sinensis) Pusa Phalguni was conducted at the instruction a cum Research farm Department of Horticulture, Collage of Agriculture during kharif season 2012-2013. The experiment was laid out in factorial Randomized Design with three levels each of phosphorus and sulphur consisting nine treatment combination replicated thrice. The treatment comprising of levels of phosphorus viz. P1:40 kg P2O5/ ha,P2:50 kg P2O5/ha,P3:60 kg P2O5/ha and three levels of sulphur viz. S0:0 kg S / ha,S1: 20 kg S/ha,S2:40 kg S/ha and P1:60 kg P2O5/ha produced better growth number of branches, (13.56), number of functional leaves (17.10) Leaf area (17.55 dm2) and yield green pod (5o.51q) per hacter of cow pea under study.
