Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to determine the response of groundnut genotypes to sulphur sources at Koont Research Farm of PMAS-Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi under rainfed conditions during April 2013. Experiment was comprised of four groundnut genotypes viz. Bari-2011, Golden, Bard-92 and PG-1058 and three sources of sulphur (S) SSP (45 kg ha-1 ), SOP (45 kg ha-1 ) and gypsum (400 kg ha-1 ) with control. Results revealed that genotype Bari-2011 gave best performance for number of plants m-2 , number of pegs plant-1 , number of pods plant-1 , number of seeds pod-1 , seed index, seed yield and harvest index. Sources of sulphur depicted statistically significant results for yield and quality parameters of groundnut genotypes. Among sources of sulphur SSP revealed best performance for all studied with an increase of 81.5% in grain yield compared to control. Among interactive effect of genotypes and sulphur fertilizers, genotype Bari-2011 along with SSP gave maximum results for all parameters studied.
