ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted during rabiseason of the year 2014-15 at Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Research Centre, AnandAgricultural  University, Anand (Gujarat) to study the effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur on cress (LepidiumSativum L.). Nitrogen significantly increase seed yields up to the level of 100 kg N/ha. Similarly, application of 80 kg P2O5/ha and 20 kg S/ha significantly improved growth and yield attributes and seed and stover yields. Interaction effect of N and S significantly increased number of siliquae/plant and seed yield.
