Effect of lime and sulphur on rapeseed (Brassica campestris subsp oleiferavar. toria)-soybean (Glycine max) cropping sequence

A field experiment was conducted during 1989-90 and 1990-91 to evaluate the effect of lime and sulphur on yield and nutrient uptake of rapeseed [Brass ica campestris ssp. oleifera (Metzger) Sinsk. var. toria] - soybean [Glycin e max (L.) Merr.] cropping sequence. The levels of lime and sulphur tried w ere 0 and 1.25 tonnes/ha and 0, 10,20,30 and 40 kg S/ha respectively. Appli cation of lime (1.25 tonnes/ha) and sulphur (30 kg/ha) to rapeseed signific antly increased the seed yield as well as NPK uptake by the crop. The resid ual effects of lime (1.25 tonnes/ha) and S (30 kg/ha) on soybean were found superior to no lime andno sulphur application in increasing the seed yield and nutrient uptake.
