e0“A field experiment was conducted during khairf season of 2009 at Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur to study the effect of sulphur and zinc nutrition on sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccharata Sturt)”
e5“Sulphur and zinc fertilization up to 45 kg and 6 kg ha−1, respectively tended to increase yield attributes, green cob and green fodder yields, crude protein content in cobs and fodder, total nitrogen, sulphur and zinc uptake by plant significantly”

- Intervention effect Graded sulphur and zinc levels up to 45 kg S and 6 kg Zn ha−1 had a significant effect on dry matter accumulation at all growth stages.
- Intervention effect Graded sulphur and zinc levels up to 45 kg S and 6 kg Zn ha−1 had a significant effect on growth rate at 0–20 DAS, leaf area index at 40 DAS and stem diameter.
- Intervention effect Growth rate during 20–40 DAS responded significantly only up to 15 kg S ha−1 of sulphur application.
- Intervention effect Application of 45 and 60 kg S ha−1 significantly improved the crop growth rate (CGR) over the control during 40–60 DAS.
- Intervention effect Application of 6 kg Zn ha−1, at par with 3 kg Zn ha−1, significantly increased the CGR during 40–60 DAS.
- Intervention effect Sulphur and zinc fertilization up to 45 kg and 6 kg ha−1 tended to increase crude protein content in cobs and fodder.
- Intervention effect Sulphur and zinc fertilization up to 45 kg and 6 kg ha−1 tended to increase total nitrogen, sulphur and zinc uptake by the plant, significantly.
- Intervention effect Incremental benefit:cost ratio decreased as sulphur and zinc levels were successively increased up to 60 kg S and 9 kg Zn ha−1.
- Intervention effect The highest incremental benefit:cost ratio, 55.62, was recorded with 15 kg S ha−1.
- Intervention effect The highest incremental benefit:cost ratio, 19.09, was recorded with 3 kg Zn ha−1.
