Influence of Sulphur Rates on Phosphurus and Sulphur Content of Miaze Crop and its Utilization in Soil
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of sulfur on the S and P uptake of maize at the University of Agriculture, Peshawar-Pakistan during spring season 2010. Different levels of sulfur were applied at the rate of 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg ha-1 with basal doses of N, P and K in a RCB design with 3 replications. Results revealed that leaf phosphorus increased, when S was applied @ 50 kg ha-1 and SO4-S concentration increased by increasing S rate. The soil P concentration at silking and post harvest stage decreased significantly by the addition of S beyond 50 kg ha-1. Phosphurus and sulphur uptake by plant significantly increased by the addition of S @ 50 kg ha-1 along with NPK fertilizer. It was conclude that application of sulfur beyond 50 kg ha-1 is not economical and encounter P antagonism.
