Abstract

The field trial was carried out at Research farm of Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Jagatpura (Jaipur) to evaluate the effect of sulphur and zinc levels on sesame crop. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design using four levels each of sulphur (Control, 20, 40 and 60 kg/ha) & zinc (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 kg/ha) replicated thrice. The results revealed that increasing levels of sulphur up to 40 kg/ha and zinc up to 5 kg/ha significantly improved the growth parameters, yield attributes and yields (822 and 817 kg/ha, respectively) of sesame and thus recommended for higher productivity of crop under semi arid conditions.
