Abstract
A field experiment was conducted on loamy sandy soil at
the College Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand
Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) to study the “Effect of
sources and levels of sulphur and bio-fertilizer on growth, yield and
quality of summer groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)”, during summer
season of the year 2015. Twelve treatment combinations comprising of
two sources of sulphur (S1: elemental sulphur, S2: gypsum), three
levels of sulphur (L0: control, L1: 20 kg S ha-1, L2: 40 kg S ha-1), two
level of bio-fertilizer (R0: without bio-fertilizer, R1: with bio-fertilizer)
were tested in randomized block design (Factorial) with four
replications. The soils of the experimental field was loamy sand in
texture (locally called as “Goradu” soil) having good drainage and
having moisture retention capacity. The experimental soil was low in
organic carbon, total nitrogen and medium in available phosphorus
and high in potassium.
