The study was carried out in Talala taluka of Gir Somath district at Gujarat comprising of 150 farmers. For selection of sample, multistage random sampling technique was used. Knowledge index, standard deviation and mean analysis were used for the study purpose. It was found that majority of the farmer had medium level of knowledge about application and usage of sulphur and were aware about the effect of sulphur on growth but less about the effect on yield and quality.Keywords
