Effect of phosphorus and sulphur on uptake and content of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur) by Vigna radiata

Effect of different levels of Phosphorus and Sulphur on uptake and content of N, P and S by mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) in a 2 years field experiment on alluvial soil, deficient in available S and high in available P during the Kharif 2009 and 2010 at Institute of Agricultural Sciences, B.H.U., Varanasi. The treatments were in a factorial combination of 4 levels each of P (0, 15, 30 and 45 kg P2O5/ha) and 4 levels of S (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg S/ha). The uptake and content of N, P and S by mungbean differed significantly due to increasing levels of phosphorus and sulphur. The uptake and content of nutrients (N, P and S) were significantly superior at 45 kg P2O5 and S30. However, difference between sulphur 30 and 20 kg were at par.
