Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during 1989 and 1990 to study the eff ect of gypsum and sulphur application on productivity and returns of g roundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) fallows under tankfed irrigation condition. All gypsum and sulphur treatments perfo rmed equally better in raising the groundnut yields over the control. Half the quantity of gypsum with seed-pelleting was found beneficial. Both gypsum and S-pelleting treatments provided higher monetary net re turns.
