Influence of Organic Fertilizers and Sulphur Levels on Yield, Quality and Economics of Clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub.)

A field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2008 at College farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari to study the influence of organic fertilizers and sulphur levels on yield, quality and economics of clusterbean. Result of the experiment revealed that an application of Biocompost @ 5 t ha^-1 recorded significantly higher green pod (5325 kg ha^-1), straw (3137 kg ha^-1) yields, protein content (20.30%), protein yield (188.68 kg ha^-1) with the highest net return of Rs. 19394 ha^-1 and BCR value of 3.57 over control. Similarly sulphur level also recorded significant effect in increasing all these yield and quality parameters. The highest green pod (6071 kg ha^-1), straw (3344 kg ha^-1) yields, protein content and protein yield (208.51 kg ha^-1) with net return of Rs. 24418 ha^-1 and BCR value of 4.89 was obtained under the application @ 50 kg ha^-1 followed by application of sulphur @ 25 kg ha^-1.
