Abstract

Mungbean is the most important crop in arid Rajasthan. Improving productivity by improving soil fertility is essential for farmers' economic viability. The effect of sulphur graded doses on yield attributes of mungbean grown as (mungbean + sesame) intercropping was studied in the field. For these four sulphur levels, viz., 0, 15, 30, and 45 kg sulphur ha-1 in five intercropping systems, viz., sole mungbean and sole sesame, mungbean + sesame in 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1. Harvest index, MEY, LER, N concentration, total nitrogen uptake, protein content, seed, and straw yield were all significantly higher than other crop yield attributes. Mungbean protein content, nitrogen content, uptake, and yield were highest when mungbean and sesame (4:1) was used, with levels reaching 45 kg S ha-1. In case of sulphur, the maximum quality parameters were observed when sulphur was applied to 45 kg ha-1 of mungbean.
