ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of levels and sources of Sulphur on growth, yield and quality of guar. Application of sulphur @ 20 and 40 kg ha­1 appreciably enhanced. However 20 kg S ha­1 was enough economically, most viable for maximum net return (Rs. 5773 ha­1) and 40 kg S ha­1 was best for highest seed protein (32.27%). Application of sulphur 20 kg ha­1 through 50 % gypsum + 50 % elemental­S gave the maximum seed yield (11.40 q ha­1) and net return (Rs. 7161 ha­1) but the seed protein was highest significantly (33.87%) at 40 kg S ha­1 with the same combination.

Key words :Cyamopsis tetragonaloba, Guar.
