Effect of different levels of nitrogen and sulphur on growth, nodulation and yield of green gram (Vigna radiate L.)

A field experimental was conducted at Department of Soil-Science, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad during kharif-2010 in randomized complete block design with twelve treatment combinations consisting three levels of nitrogen (0, 20 and 40 kg N ha⁻¹) and four levels of Sulphur(0, 20, 40 and 60 kg S ha⁻¹) replicated three times. Treatment combination N₄₀ S₆₀ (40kg N ha⁻¹ +60 kg S ha⁻¹) recorded significantly higher values for plant height (65.6cm), number of leaves plant⁻¹ (32.4), fresh weight plant⁻¹ (48.4 g), dry weight plant⁻¹ (16.5 g), number of nodules plant⁻¹ (44.5), number of pods plant⁻¹ (25.1), and grain yield ha⁻¹(14.8 q).
