Influence of Phosphorus and Sulphur on Growth and Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

Background: Wheat is grown on more land area than any other food crop, World trade in wheat is greater than for all other crops combined. world production of wheat and other grain crops has tripled and is expected to grow further through the middle of the 21st century. In 2020, making it the second most-produced cereal after maize Since 1960. Objectives: Effect of phosphorus and sulphur on growth parameters and yield of wheat. Methods: With the goal of studying the effect of phosphorus and sulphur on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Var. DBW-187 under a Randomized block design with 9 treatments (T1-T9) The experimental results revealed that 80 kg p/ha + 40 kg s/ha produced maximum plant height (96.47), Tillers/hill (10.47), plant dry weight (18.54) and yield parameters Grains/spike (47.36), Test weight (38.59), Grain yield (6.25t/ha), straw yield (9.54t/ha), Harvest index (39.58%). Conclusion: On the basis of one season experim  it can be concluded that with the application of Phosphorus 80 kg/ha + Sulphur 40 kg/ha was found significantly superior in plant height (96.47cm), tillers/hill (10.47), dry weight (18.54 g/plant), grains/spike (47.36), Test weight (38.59 g), Grain yield (6.25 t/ha), Stover yield (9.54t/ha) and harvest index (39.58 %). Because the findings are based on research conducted during one single season, they may be repeated for further confirmation.
