Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in Kharif 2020 at Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U. P.). The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.36%) available N (171.48 kg/ha), available P (15.2 kg/ha) and available K (232.5 kg/ha). Sulphur (S) is crucial for the growth and development, plays a significant role in plant metabolism, indispensible for the synthesis of necessary oils, plays a vital role in chlorophyll production. The treatments which are T1: G. Til 1+ 25 kg/ha S, T2: G. Til 1+ 35 kg/ha S, T3: G. Til 1 + 45 kg/ha S, T4: G. Til 4+ 25 kg/ha S, T5: G. Til 4+ 35 kg/ha S, T6: G. Til 4+ 45 kg/ha S, T7: Pragati + 25 kg/ha S, T8: Pragati + 35 kg/ha S, T9: Pragati + 45 kg/ha S used. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice. The results showed that viz: plant height (125.21 cm), maximum dry weight (19.48 g) and number o

Keywords

Sesame, Sulphur (S), Varieties, G. Til 1, G. Til 4, Pragati.

Conclusion

Based on the findings of the investigation it may be concluded that variety pragati + 45 kg/ha Sulphur performed exceptionally in all growth and yield parameters and in obtaining maximum seed yield of sesame. Hence, pragati + 45 kg/ha Sulphur is beneficial under eastern Uttar Pradesh conditions.
