Abstract

                                An experiment was conducted to study the effect of sulphur fertilisation on nutrition and yield of groundnut. The results indicated that the basal application of sulphur in the from of sulphur dust (22 kg/ha) Increased the dry matter and pod yield significantly. Higher Hl and higher contribution by pod to the total dry matter production indicated the greater efficiency in translocation of assimilates from source to sink. The increase in pod yield was mostly due to the increase in dry matter production (r=0.895) rather than the Ht (r=0.805) Sulphur appli cation had increased the carbohydrate, protein and oil contents in kernel. The 100- kernel weight and shailing percentage were also high in sulphur dust treated plants
