A field trial was conducted at the Experimental Station of J.N. Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur, India on a black soil (typic chromustert) with pH (7.6) during the 1988/89 season. Cv JV-2 was grown in a factorial randomized block design with three replications. The effect of different applications of sulphur (0, 30, and 60 kg S/ha) and phosphorus (0, 40, and 80 kg P2O5/ha) on grain and straw yields and nutrient composition of faba bean grown on black soil (typic chromustert) was evaluated. Increasing applications of sulphur as well as phosphorus fertilizers significantly increased the grain yield along with the nutrient composition of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S up to the level of 30 kg S/ha and 40 kg P2O5/ha. The highest yield was obtained with a combination of 30 kg S/ha and 40 kg P2O5/ha. The S and P exhibited a strong synergistic relationship for faba bean nutrition
