But, deficiency of sulphur (S) and boron (B) to extent of 61 and 63 %, respectively caused a substantial reduction in yield. Lentil (Lens culinaris Medic), being a leguminous crop, requires a relatively higher amount of S and B for optimum yield. Hundred GPS-based upland red surface soilsof Mirzapurrevealed sandy loam to sandy clay loam texture, slightly acidic pH, electrical conductivitybelow the safe limit of salt content and loworganic carbon status (4.12 g kg-1). Sampleswere also low in available nitrogen (198.20 kg ha-1), phosphorus (11.56 kg ha-1), sulphur (10.45 mg kg-1), boron (0.35 mg kg-1) and zinc (0.65 mg kg-1). A pot experiment was conducted for rabi 2018-19 and 2019-20in red soil to assess the effect of different levels of S and B application on growth, yield attributes, yield of lentil and fertility status. The treatments consist of four levels of S1, S2, S3 and S4 @ 0, 15, 30 and 45 kg ha-1, respectively and four levels of B1, B2, B3 and B4 @ 0, 1, 2 and 3 kg ha-1, respectively along withrecommended dose NPK in factorial completely randomized design with sixteen treatments, replicated thrice. A parallel incubation study was also conducted with the same treatments.The application of S and B significantly increased the growth and yield of lentil over the application of recommended dose of NPK. S3resulted in higher yield (6.43 g pot-1), while, B2 givesmaximum yield of 5.42 g pot-1. While, 6.69 % and 26.57 % yield improvement was recorded with S3B2 (6.86 g pot-1) over application of S3 and B2, respectively.Application of S2B2 performed best for quality parameters. In post-harvest soil, the treatmentS3B2was foundbeneficial in sustaining soil fertility status. Application of S and B also showed enhancedacitivity of acid phosphatase and aryl sulphatase enzyme in soil. Incubation study results showed that available sulphur was maximum at 30 days after incubation inS3B2, while available boron showed maximum release at 45 days after incubation inS2B3 and S3B3. The studyshowed thatS3B2showed enhanced growth and yield and this was validated from the incubation study which showed maximum release of available S and B during nutrient demanding stage. The application of S and B also helps in sustaining soil health and enzymatic activities.ThesisItem Open Access ThesisItem Open Access Information Management Behaviour of Aonla Growers in Semi Arid Eastern Plains Zone (IIIa) of Rajasthan(SKNAU)(SKNAU, 2017) Choudhary, Saroj
