Effect of Varying Levels of Sulphur with and without Rhizobium on Yield Quality and Uptake of Nutrient by Blackgram [Vigna mungo (L) Hepper] Cv. PU.30

The effect of four levels of S (0, 20, 40 and 60 Kg S ha^-1) with and without rhizobium inoculation on yield, quality and nutrient uptake of vigna mungo (L) Hepper cv. P.U-30 was studied in sandy clay loam soil of eastern U.P. Pooled analysis of data revealed that application of S and rhizobium individually as well as collectively increased the grain and straw yield, protein and carbohydrate % in seeds as well as uptake of N, P and S significantly. The increase in grain and straw yield and protein and carbohydrate % in seeds with 40 and 60 kg S ha^-1 in combination with rhizobium over control was 28.82, 30.57, 26.42, 28.08, 17.88, 18.16, 3.68 and 3.86%, respectively.
