Abstract
Effect of S and Mo on yield, concentration, uptake and utilization of fertilizer-S in raya were studied. Dry matter yield of shoots and root s increased with increasing rates of S application up to 60 ppm, where as, there was no response to Mo application in both soils. Dry matter yield of shoots and roots were higher in sandy loam than sandy soil at 70 days. Sulphur application increased concentration and uptake of to tal and fertilizer-S and decreased the percent utilization of fertiliz er-S in shoots and roots. Molybdenum application decreased concentrati on of total and fertilizer-S and percent utilization of fertilizer-S i n plants and exhibited an antagonistic effect.
