Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Mondouri Farm, Mohanpur, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, on sandy loam soil during pre-kharif season of 2005-06 to study the effect of sulphur on the yield and oil content of sesame. Sulphur was applied as elemental sulphur with NPK @ 60, 30 and 30 kg/ha. Sulphur was applied @ 20, 40 and 60 kg/ha (as basal, at 10 DAS, at 20 DAS or both). Results showed that application of sulphur in combination with NPK significantly affected the number of capsule per plant, number of seeds per capsule, the seed and straw yields and also beneficial in increasing the oil content and oil yield of sesame. Application of 40 kg S (20 kg basal + 20 kg at 20 DAS) with NPK produced the highest yield. Introduction
