Summary

Application of S, alone or in combination with P, significantly increased the number, yield and nitrogen content of root nodules on pigeon pea and guar. Sulphur, applied at different levels with NPK, increased the methionine content and yield of plants significantly but had no significant effect on the N content. Sulphur at 20 p.p.m., alone or in combination with P, increased the methionine content of pigeon pea significantly but the effect decreased at higher levels of S. In general, higher values of methionine were obtained in the presence of S than when it was absent.
