Abstract

The present study was carried out on “Performance of Green gram as Influenced by Sulphur and Iron Application” to increase the grain quality and helps in synthesis of protein, vitamins, enzymes and flavoured compounds in the plant.

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2018 at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Suresh Gyanvihar University, Jaipur. To study the influence of sulphur and iron on the performance of green gram. This experiment was done in randomized block design with eight treatments which are replicated thrice. Treatments consists of T1 control, T2 1.0% FeSO4 as foliar spray at 25 DAS, T3 25 kg S ha−1 as ZnSO4, T4 25 kg S ha−1 as SSP, T5 25 kg S ha−1 as ZnSO4 + 1.0% FeSO4 as foliar spray at 25 DAS, T6 25 kg S ha−1 as SSP + 1.0% FeSO4 as foliar spray at 25 DAS, T7 12.5 kg S ha−1 as ZnSO4 + 12.5 kg S ha−1 as SSP and T8 12.5 kg S ha−1 as ZnSO4 + 12.5 kg S ha−1 as SSP + 1.0% FeSO4 as foliar spray at 25 DAS.

The results indicated that application of 12.5 kg S ha−1 as ZnSO4 + 12.5 kg S ha−1 as SSP + 1.0% FeSO4 as foliar spray at 25 DAS is suitable to get higher green gram yield, compared to other treatments.
