Abstract
For optimum growth, plant requirement of sulphur are as high as of phosphorus. Due to peculiar soil and climate conditions, addition of phosphorus to PliUfjtiil soils is inevitable. Similarly, availability of
sulphur to crops is regulated by soil organic matter which is very low (<0.05) in most soils of the country. Such situation calls for proper management of P and S in soil. In a green-house experiment on maize three organic sources of nutrients were studied alone and in
combination with inorganic sources of P and S. Vegetative growth of maize was found to be significantly influenced by various treatments to
different degrees. Acquisition of both P and S by maize plants were highly variable from different nutrient sources. The dry matter accumulation by maize plants was significantly correlated with their uptake of P and S.
