ABSTRACT
A study on the effect of phosphorus and sulphur levels on the growth and yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) (variety Vaibhav) in rainfed conditions was conducted during the rabi season of 2013-14 and 2014-15. The combination of 16 treatments and three replications of phosphorus and sulphur doses were tested in factorial randomized block design. Four phosphorus doses (0, 30, 60, and 90 kg P2O5/ha) and four sulphur doses (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg S/ha) were used. Crops were sown by seed drill at 450 mm row to row spacing in the last week of October in both the years. The seed rate was kept 80 kg/ha. The effect of treatment was evaluated on different characters of crop growth, yield attributes, yields, economics and quality of produce. Interaction effect of phosphorus and sulphur levels in plant height was higher up to 60 kg P2O5/ha and up to 20 kg S/ha. Similarly the number of primary and secondary branches, biological yield, grain yield and straw yield were increased with doses i.e. up to 60 kg P2O5 /ha and up to 20 kg S/ha. The best quality of grains of chickpea was obtained with the combined application of 60 kg P2O5 ha and 20 kg S/ha.
