Effect of sulphur and phosphorus on economics of little millet

A field experiment was conducted during Zaid season of 2024-25 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences to determine “Effect of Sulphur and Phosphorus on economics of Little millet”. The treatments consisted of two levels of Sulphur (20, 30 and 40 kg/ha) and Phosphorus (15, 30 and 45 kg/ha) along with recommended doses of fertilizer and a control (40-20-20 kg N-P-K/ha). The results revealed that the significantly higher seed yield (1186 kg/ha), and higher stover yield (2474 kg/ha) were recorded with treatment 6 (Sulphur 30 kg/ha + Phosphorus 25 kg/ha). The maximum gross return (119680.00 INR/ha), net return (71607.14 INR/ha) and B:C ratio (1.48) were also recorded with application of Sulphur 30 kg/ha + Phosphorus 25 kg/ha (treatment 6) was found to be productive as well as economically feasible.
