SunflowerAbstract
A field study was conducted to observe the effects of sulphur sources and levels on sunflower growth and yield. The sulphur levels were 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg S/ha through three sources viz., elemental sulphur, gypsum and ammonium sulphate. The values among the treatments for higher plant height (173cm) and grain yield (1888 kg/ha) were recorded with sulphur @ 40 kg/ha though gypsum as compared to other sulphur sources and levels.
