Abstract

A field study was conducted during summer season of 2008 at College Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari to study the influence of organic fertilizer and different levels of sulphur on growth, yield and quality of clusterbean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] for vegetable purpose. Three levels of organic fertilizer and three levels of sulphur were tried. Among organic fertilizers, biocompost @ 5 t/ha registered significantly higher plant height (145.58 cm), dry matter production (65.95 g/plant), green pod (5325 kg/ha), straw (3137 kg/ha) yields, protein content (20.30%) and protein yield (188.68 kg/ha) over control. Similarly, sulphur levels also recorded significant effect in increasing all these growth, yield and quality parameters. Sulphur @ 50 kg/ha registered higher plant height (152.32 cm), dry matter production (67.17 g/plant), green pod (6071 kg/ha), straw yields (3344 kg/ha), protein content (21.23%) and protein yield (208.51 kg/ha) as compared to all other treatments.
