Abstract
The field experiment was conducted during Zaid 2023 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.3). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice based on one year of experimentation. The application of Sulphur at 45 kg/ha + Thiourea at 1500 ppm, recorded Significant maximum pods/plant (41.00), Seeds/pod (14.00), Seed index (31.80 g), Seed yield (1.84 t/ha), stover yield (3.66 t/ha), Harvest index (33.45 %) were recorded with the treatment of Sulphur at 45 kg/ha + Thiourea at 1500 ppm.
