Interaction Effect of Sulphur and Potassium on Yield and Nutrients Uptake by Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)

A field experiment was conducted on medium black calcareous soils during Kharif, 2003 at Junagadh Agricultural university, Junagadh with four levels each of Sulphur (0,20,40 and 60.0 kgha^-1 as elemental sulphur) and potassium (0,20,40, and 60 as KCl) in Factorial Randomized Bloch Design (FRBD) with four replications. The results revealed that the combined application of S₄₀ and K₄₀ resulted 60.0 and 114.0 per cent higher in grain and stover yield of sesame, respectively. Simultaneously, individual as well as combined application of S and K also significantly increased nutrients uptake by seed and stover.
