Abstract

Background: A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2022 month of August at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments and control which are replicated thrice on the basis of one year experiment. The treatments consisted of 3 levels of source of sulphur (Gypsum 300 kg/ha, Single super phosphate 20 kg/ha, Sulphur 40 kg/ha) and zinc (5, 10, 15 kg/ha) as a basal application and a control. The application of Gypsum 300 kg/ha + Zinc 15 kg/ha recorded significantly maximum number of Capsules/plant (51.40), Seeds/capsules (55.47), Test weight (2.70 g), Seed yield (1.07 t/ha), stover yield (2.59 t/ha), Harvest index (29.30), Gross returns (89,889.00 INR/ha), Net returns (60,180.00INR/ha), B:C ratio (2.03 INR/ha) was recorded with the treatment of Gypsum 300 kg/ha + Zinc 15 kg/ha.
