Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi, 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Departmentof Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The treatment consisted of three level of Sulphur (25,35,45 kg/ha) and three level of Micro-nutrient Boron (1 kg/ha), Zinc (4 kg/ha), Molybdenum (0.4 kg/ha) and control. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments each replicatd thrice. The soil in the experimental area was sandy loam with pH (8.0), EC (0.56 dS/m), Organic Carbon (0.62%), Available N (225 kg/ha), Available P (38.2 kg/ha), and Available K (240.7 kg/ha). Higher plant height (36.93 cm), number of nodules (16.44) higher dry weight (6.67 g/plant), maximum number of pods/plant (160.33), maximum number of seeds/pod (1.99), higher seed yield (2028.05 kg/ha) and higher stover yield (3540.60 kg/ha). However, the maximum gross return (129245.56 INR/ha), maximum net return (91679.57 INR/ha) and maximum benefit cost ratio (2.44) was obtained with same treatment-9 [Sulphur (45 kg/ha) + Molybdenum (0.4 kg/ha)].
