[en] A pot culture experiment was initiated with jute (Chorchorus Olitorius). var. JRO 524, in Typic ustochrept and Typic ochraqualf soil to study S nutrition to jute using tracer technique at different levels of S (0,20,40,60 kg S ha^-1). The plant samples were taken at two stages of crop growth i.e. 30 and 60 days after sowing. The jute crop responded to S application resulting in increased dry matter yield and S uptake. Uptake of total and fertilizer S by jute also enhanced significantly with addition of S fertilizer to the soil. The per cent utilization of fertilizer S varied from 3.56 to 6.70 and 5.33 to 7.12 in both the soils at 30 and 60 days' crop age, respectively. Available soil S content after the harvest of jute was changed from 6.8 to 9.5 and 7.1 to 10.4 ppm in soil-I and soil-II, respectively due to S fertilization. (author)
