A field experiment was conducted in the plot no. A -8 at college farm Department of Agronomy, VNMAU, Parbhani during Rabi season of year 2001-2002 .The experiment was laid in a split plot design with 16 treatment combination. Four levels of each potassium and sulphur were taken each treatment was replicated three times. From these experiment the results concluded that the concentration of N, P and S was increased at 60kg S ha-1 in plant. The K concentration was recorded at 75 kg K2O ha-1 level . The uptake of N, P, K and S increased with the increasing levels of K and S.
