Influence of Sulphur and Zinc on Growth, Yield and Economics of Groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.)

A field trial was led during Zaid (summer) season of 2023 at Crop Research Farm Department of Agronomy. The treatments contained of 3 level of Sulphur (15, 30 & 45 kg/ha) and 3 level of zinc (20kg/ha, 0.50% and 0.25% foliar application) along with recommended dosages of N, P, K and a control (20:60:40 NPK kg/ha). The investigate was laid out in a RBD with ten treatments and replication thrice. Application of Sulphur (45 kg/ha) + Zinc (10kg/ha + 0.25% foliar application) (treatment 9) recorded maximum plant height (46.00 cm), & yield attributes namely more number of pod/plants (26.53), highest seed yield (2.65 t/ha) and haulm yield (6.37 t/ha). The treatment also recorded, net return (135076 INR/ha) and B:C ratio (2.61).
