A study was conducted in Kalghatgi taluk of Dharwad district, during the year 2001-2002 to study the effect of sulphur fertilization on growth and yield parameters of rice (Oryza sativa L.) involving the sulphur applied in soil at different doses 15, 30, and 40 kg S/ha, through SSP to find out the best combination for attaining results revealed that various levels of sulphur applied soil, with the four treatment combination. The maximum grain(3483 kg ha-1) and straw yield (5413 kg ha-1) was recorded at 40 kg S/ha were at par with that 15 kg S/ha, the per cent increased in tillers was 5.37,8.56 and 9.35 at 15, 30 and 40 kg S/ha, respectively, over control.
