abstract
A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2009-10 at oilseeds research station, Latur to study the effect of different nutrient management practices on growth and yield of hybrid sunflower (LSFH-35). The investigation was carried out in RBD design with three replication and nine no. of treatments (different fertilizer levels along with micronutrient involving nine treatment combinations were tested) such as T₁ = 100% NP, T₂ = 50% RDF, T₃ = 100% RDF, T₄ = 150% RDF,T₅ = RDF + Sulphur, T₆ = RDF + Sulphur + Boron, T₇ = RDF + Sulphur + Boron + Zinc, T₈ = RDF + Sulphur + Zinc, T₉ = control. The result of experiment revealed that among the treatments, application of 150% RDF was recorded significantly higher growth, yield attributes and yield over T₉ (control), T₂ (50% RDF), T₁ (100% NP) and T₃ (100% RDF), whereas, it was at par with the application of T₇ (RDF + S + B + Zn), T₆ (RDF + S + B), T₈ (RDF + S + Zn) and T₅ (RDF + S).
