Effect of phosphorus and sulphur on wheat quality and nutrient uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum L)
Sujeet Kumar and Prabhat Kumar Chaturvedi
A field experiment was conducted at Crop Research Farm of National Post Graduate College, Barhalganj Gorakhpur, U. P. during the rabi season of 2020-21 and 2021-22 with an objective to study the effect of Phosphorous and Sulphur on quality and nutrient uptake of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The soil of the experimental field was silty loom in texture with low, medium and high in N. P. and K., respectively. The experimental site is situated in sub-tropical zone in Indo-gangetic plains. The experiment was laid out in Randomise Black Design (Factorial) and sown dated on 16-11-2020 and 18-11-2021 with two factors viz-A-Phosphorus i.e. 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg ha⁻¹ and B-Sulphur i.e. 0, 15, 30 and 45 kg S ha⁻¹ with three replication and harvested dated on 05-04-2021 and 07-04-2022, respectively. The result indicated that the Phosphorus-90 kg ha⁻¹ proved significantly superior over other Phosphorus level in terms of viz-protein content, nitrogen content in grains and straw, phosphorous content in grain and straw, potassium content in grain and straw and sulphur content in grain and straw and Uptake of nutrients viz-phosphorous uptake and sulphur uptake, except 60 kg ha⁻¹, during both the year, respectively, while Sulphur-45 kg ha ⁻¹ gave significantly highest value in terms of protein content, nitrogen content in grain and straw, Phosphorous content in grain and straw, potassium content in grain and straw and sulphur content in grain and straw and uptake of nutrients viz-phosphorous uptake and sulphur uptake over other S level, except 30 kg S ha ⁻¹ during both the year of experiment, respectively. Phosphorous-90 kg ha⁻¹ + Sulphur-45 kg ha⁻¹ increased significantly the quality content end uptake of nutrients in wheat.
