An experiment was carried out in an agriculture research farm at The Maharishi University of Information Technology in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh in 20242025 called Rabi-season. A Factorial Randomized with three replications was used in the study, 20 treatments were grown. The most significant independent variable was nitrogen basing it on five levels of application (0, 40, 60, 80, 100 kg N/ha) whereas the second variable was at four levels of sulphur (0, 30, 35, and 40 kg S/ha). When used at doses of 40 to 100 kg N/ha, higher nitrogen levels were positively correlated with plant height, branching per plant, leaf area index, and total dry-matter production-trends that could not be sustained in most of the yield components by the data. With 100 kg N/ha, the maximum number of plant height, branching per plant, dry-matter production, leaf area index and all yield parameters (grain, stover and total biological yield) were attained. On the other hand, complementarily, 40 kg S/ha yielded the best values of all indicators associated with growth as well as yield parameters.
Economic analysis (gross income, net income and benefitcost ratios) indicated that the combination of 100 kg N/ha and 40 kg S/ha gave rise to the highest returns. These results reveal the interactive relationship between nitrogen and sulphur that influence the characters of crops and yield of crops in a three-replicate experiment carried out in the Uttar Pradesh, India.
