Response of sulphur, phosphorus and Rhizobium inoculation on growth and yield of clusterbean {Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) taub.}

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 1996 on loamy sand soil to study the response of sulphur, phosphorus and Rhizobium inoculation on growth and yield of cluster bean. Application of 80 kg S ha−1 significantly increased the seed yield by 31.8 and 10.7 per cent over control and 40 kg S ha−1, respectively. Application of 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 also significantly increased the seed yield by 27.3 and 11.9 per cent over control and 30 kg P2O5 ha−1, respectively. Rhizobium inoculation significantly increased the seed yield compared to control plot.
