| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment entitled “Effect of Sulphur and PROM on Yield and Quality of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)” conducted at Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT Udaipur, during the rabi season of 2022- 23. The objective of the experiment was to select appropriate dose of sulphur and best source of phosphorus for chickpea crop to achieve higher productivity, quality and profitability, better condition of soil under IVa Zone of Rajasthan conditions. The soil of the experimental field was clay loam in texture, low in available nitrogen (275.43 kg ha-1), medium in available phosphorous (17.80 kg ha-1), high in available potassium (354.17 kg ha-1) and alkaline in reaction with pH 8.13. The experiment comprising of sixteen treatment combinations of four levels of sulphur (control, 10, 20 30 kg sulphur ha-1) and four different sources of phosphorus (control, 50% RDP through PROM + 50% RDP through DAP, 75% RDP through PROM + 25% RDP through DAP and 100% RDP through PROM) was laid out in Randomized Block Design (Factorial) with three replications. The results showed that maximum growth parameters (plant height at harvest, number of branches plant-1 at harvest, total and effective of root nodules at 45 DAS), yield attributes (pod plant-1, seeds pod-1 and seed index) and yield (seed, haulm and biological), nutrient (N, P and S) content in seed and haulm, nutrient (N, P, K and S) uptake by seed, haulm and total uptake by seed, quality parameters (protein content in seed and chlorophyll content in plant at 45 DAS), soil properties {available N, available sulphur, available micronutrients, microbial (bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes) population, dehydrogenase activity and alkaline phosphate activity} after harvest of crop, net return and B C ratio were increased significantly up to application of 20 kg sulphur ha-1. The treatments S2 (20 kg sulphur ha-1) and S3 (30 kg sulphur ha-1) were remained at par with each other. However, potassium content in seed and haulm, soil properties (pH, EC and organic carbon), available phosphorus and potassium remained unchanged with different levels of sulphur. Application of 75% RDP through PROM + 25% RDP through DAP was recorded significantly higher growth parameters, yield attributes and yield (seed, haulm and biological), nutrient (N and P) content in seed and haulm, nutrient (N, P, K and S) by seed, haulm and total uptake by seed, quality parameters, net return and B C ratio over 100% RDP through PROM and control. The treatments P2 (75% RDP through PROM + 25% RDP through DAP) and P1 (50% RDP through PROM + 50% RDP through DAP) were remained at par with each other. Maximum soil properties {organic carbon, available N and P2O5, available micronutrients, microbial (bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes) population, dehydrogenase activity and alkaline phosphate activity} after harvest of crop were recorded with application of 100% RDP through PROM. However, potassium and sulphur content in seed and haulm, soil properties (pH and EC organic carbon), available potassium and sulphur remained unchanged with different sources of phosphorus. Interaction between application of sulphur and PROM levels were found significant with respect to seed, haulm, biological yield, nutrient uptake by seed, haulm and total by crop, net return and B C ratio. Application of 30 kg sulphur ha-1 with 50% RDP through PROM + 50% RDP through DAP recorded highest seed, haulm, biological yield, nutrient uptake by seed, haulm and total by crop, net return and B C ratio, which was remained at par with application of 30 kg sulphur ha-1 with 75% RDP through PROM + 75% RDP through DAP | |
