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 [Brassica campestris ssp. oleifera (Metzger) Sinsk. var. toria] -soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cropping sequence. The levels of lime and sulphur tried were 0 and 1.25 tonnestha and 0, 10,20,30 and 40 kg Slha respectively. Application of lime (1.25 tonnestha) and sul- phur (30 kgtha) to rapeseed significantly increased the seed yield as well as NPK uptake by the crop. The residual effects of lime (1.25 tonnestha) and S (30 kgtha) on soybean were found superior to no lime andno sulphur application in increasing the seed yield and nutrient uptake.References
