Effect of sulphur on growth and yield attributes of sugarcane in sulphur deficient soils of Kaalaiyarkovil block of Sivagangai district

A field experiment was conducted with twelve treatments to evaluate the effect of sulphur on growth, yield attributes and yield of sugarcane in a sulphur-deficient soil series of Kaalaiyarkovil block in Sivagangai district, during the year 2018. The results revealed that the application of sulphur @ 100 kg ha-1 as soil application in the form of FeSO4 along with STCR based NPK recommendation registered the maximum growth and yield attributes and cane yield (155.00 tonnes ha-1), followed by T12 (150.00 tonnes ha-1). However, they were statistically on par with each other.
