ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season 2009-2010 to find out the optimum dose of phosphorus and sulphur on growth , yield attributes and yield of chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L). Four levels of P2O5 (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg/ha ) and three levels of sulphur (0, 20 and 40 kg/ha), applied through DAP and gypsum , respectively. Treatments were replicated three times in factorial randomized block design . Application of phosphorus from 0 to 60 kg /ha resulted in linear increase in various growth characters, yield attributing traits , seed and stalk yield of chickpea . The application of 60 kg P2O5 /ha produced the highest mean seed yield of 1761 (Kg/ha) and stalk yield of 2754 (Kg/ha) . Similarly the levels of sulphur up to 40 kg/ha showed linear increase the growth, yield attributes , seed and stalk yield of chickpea. The application of 40 kg Sulphur /ha produced the highest mean seed yield of 1665 (Kg/ha) and stalk yield of 2665 (Kg/ha) .
