ABSTRACT
An experiment entitled “Response of clusterbean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] to phosphorus and sulphur in Torripsamments of Rajasthan” was carried out at the Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner during kharif 2014-15 on loamy sand soil. Study was carried out to determine nutrient content and uptake of clusterbean under phosphorus and sulphur. The experiment was comprising total 16 treatment combinations; four levels of phosphorus (Control, 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1) and four levels of sulphur (0, 15, 30 and 45 kg S ha-1) in factorial Randomized block design with three replications. The results revealed that application of phosphorus 40 kg ha-1 increase significantly nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur content & uptake in seed & stover, seed yield and stover yield as compared to control & 20 kg P2O5 ha-1, but statistically at par with 60 kg P2O5 ha-1. Sulphur application also influences the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur content & uptake in seed and stover. Application of 30 kg S ha-1 increase significantly nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur content & uptake in seed & stover, seed and stover yield as compared to control and 15 kg S ha-1, but statistically at par with 45 kg S ha-1.
