A pot culture experiment was conducted with groundnut (CO 7) in a sulphur deficient (7.19 mg kg-1) Inceptisol (Vertic Ustropept) at the Radioisotope (Tracer) Laboratory, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during October 2016 to January 2017. The treatment structure comprised five levels of sulphur (0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 kg ha-1) along with the recommended fertilizer dose. The variation in yield and the changes in starch, sugars, cysteine, methionine, protein, and oil content with kernel development as influenced by the sulphur application were studied. The yield attributes viz., number of pods pot-1, pod and kernel yield pot-1 and shelling percentage, were remarkably influenced due to the application of sulphur up to 60 kg ha-1, which was comparable with S @ 40 kg ha-1 and had an adverse effect with S @ 80 kg ha-1. In all the stages of sampling (30 DAS, 15 DOP (75 DAS), 30 DOP (90 DAS) and at harvest stage), starch, total sugars, reducing and non-reducing sugars of groundnut were found to decrease with increasing S levels with control recording the highest value and S @ 60 kg ha-1 recording the lowest value. During crop growth, protein content and sulphur-containing amino acids viz., cysteine, and methionine showed an increasing trend up to 60 kg S ha-1 application and recorded comparable values with S @ 40 kg ha-1. Similarly, oil content in the kernel steadily increased with stages of kernel development. The highest oil content at all stages of kernel development was recorded at 60 kg S ha-1.
