Abstract

A field trial was conducted to study mungbean crop performance and production potential under sulphur fertilization with recommended dose of NPK whereby, 17 treatments were replicated thrice. The maximum plant height (51.2 cm), grain yield plant−1 (5.7 g) and pods plant−1 (16.0) were recorded under (T15: 100% RD of NPK+S). T15: 100% RD of NPK+S was found significantly superior to other treatments and recorded maximum grain yield (1524 Kg ha−1). T15: 100% RD of NPK+S was significantly superior to all treatments except T16: 125% RD of NPK+S and recorded maximum stover yield (2696 Kg ha−1). T15: 100% RD of NPK+S recorded significantly superior harvest index followed by T14: 75% RD of NPK+S and T16: 125% RD of NPK+S. The maximum production efficiency (25.4 Kg day−1 ha−1) was recorded in T15: 100% RD of NPK+S which was at par with T16: 125% RD of NPK+S and significantly higher compared to all other treatments.
