Effect of sulfur on peanut yield grown on Gray Podzolic Soils was studied at Phrae farmer's field in the 1984 rainy season. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with 5 replications. Treatments consisted of four rates of sulfur which were 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 kgs./rai. Application of fertilizers at the rate of 7-7-7 kg N-P2O5-K2O/rai were done for all plots. Sulfur application increased peanut pod yield by 34-48 %, but decreased shelling percentage. For seed quality, sulfur significantly increased protein content by about 3-6 %.
