Abstract

An on-farm study was conducted in fifteen farmers fields at Nimar area in Madhya Pradesh. Analysis of soil samples collected in year of 2015 (without sulphur application) and 2016 (with sulphur application) revealed that sulphur level in all soil samples were low (2.5 to 14.2 mean 9.23 kg/ha). Further, demonstrations showed increase in yield of soybean from 2.11 to 2.27 t/ha and oil content from 19.93 to 21.60 per cent with application of sulphur fertilizer.
