Abstract:
The experiment was conducted during the period from January, 2018 to May 2018 to
study the effect of sulphur and phosphorus on the growth, yield and nutrient component
of BARI Soybean-6 (Glycine max L.). In this experiment, the treatment consisted of four
Levels of sulphur viz. 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg S ha
60 and 80 kg P ha
-1
-1
and four levels of phosphorus viz. 0, 40,
. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block
Design with three replications. The collected data were statistically analyzed for
evaluation of the treatment effect. Results showed that a significant variation among the
treatments in respect majority of the observed parameters. The highest plant height (44.68
cm and 61.90
cm at 30 DAS and 60 DAS respectively) was found from P
+ 80 kg P ha

) combination treatment. The maximum number of leaves plant
from the
individual treatment of S and P were found at S

(60 kg S ha

) and P

(10.26

and 60 DAS respectively) was found in P

soybean was influenced significantly due to the application of phosphorus and sulphur.
The highest grain yield (1.96 t ha
