Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi seasons, on the effects of Sulphur and Magnesium on the yield and yield attributes of wheat crops in the central plains zone of UP. The result showed that the application of sulphur and magnesium with the recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) increased the growth parameters, i.e. plant height, number of tillers, number of ear plant-1, and number of ear lengths. The yield and yield attributes, viz., ear weight (g), number of grain spike-1, test weight (g), grain yield (q ha-1), and straw yield (q ha-1). The highest plant height at 30, 60, and 90 DAS was 15.38, 62.74, and 87.71 cm respectively, the number of tillers plant-1 was highest in T9 (6.83), the number of ears plant-1 was highest in T9 (6.03), ear length highest in T9 (10.25 cm) and lowest in (T1) control plot. The maximum test weight in T9 (39.38 g), grain, and straw yield were recorded as significantly higher in T9 (45.96 q ha-1), (72.95 q ha-1) and lowest in the (T1) control plot (29.75 q ha-1), (62.40 q ha-1).
