Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy field of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, l)haka. during the period from November 2006 to March 2007 to
study the cllect of phosphorus and sulphur singly and also combined on the yield and
yield contributing characters of SAL) Sarisha I (Brassia, eainpesnt I..).
the experiment
included four levels of phosphorous viz.. 0. 30.60 and 90 kg Mi
kg haS ' as well as four
levels of sulphur vii.. 0, tO, 20 and 30 kg S ha* The experiment was laid out in a
Randomized Complete Block l)csign with three replications. Phosphorous showed
significant ellect on yield and yield attributes of rapeseed except the number othranches
plant'. Application of phosphorus 41 60 kg ha' produced the highest seed yield, plant

biological yield and harvest index. In all the cases lower response was found from the
control treatment. Sulphur fertilizer also had significant effect on yield and yield
attributes of rapeseed except branches plant' and siliqua length. Application of sulphur
20 kg ha' gave the highest seed yield, plant height, pods plant'. seeds pod'. 1000seed
weight. stover yield, biological yield and harvest index. But in all cases the lower
response
was found from the control treatment. Sulphur (iS
20
kg haS
' was found
statistically superior to all other treatments.
Phosphorus in combination with sulphur showed significant effect on yield and
yield attributes of rapeseed except branches plant". siliqtia length. seeds
and
1000-seed weight. Phosphorus @ 60 kg and sulphur &1 20 kg ha" resulted the highest
seed yield, plant height, stover yield, biological yield and harvest index. But in all the
cases lower response was found from the control treatment.
