Abstract: An investigation was carried out at Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Research Station Rajendranagar, Sri Konda Laxman Telangana State Horticultural University, Mulugu (V & M), Siddipet Dist., Telangana State during the period of 2017-20 to determine the effect of Nitrogen and sulphur on growth, yield and essential oil of clove basil. The study was conducted with the application of different levels of Nitrogen i.e, N₁- 100 kg/ha., N₂- 150 kg/ha., N₃- 200 kg/ha and different levels of Sulphur i.e, S₁- 60 kg/ha., S₂- 120 kg/ha., S₃- 180 kg/ha. All the parameters interms of plant height, no. of primary branches, fresh herbage yield, oil yield were significantly differed with respect to the different dosage of Nitrogen and sulphur. The maximum plant height (148.94cm) was found in N₃S₁, no. of primary branches (26.05), fresh herbage yield (34.61t/ha), dry herbage yield (12.08 t/ha) were found in N₂S₃ and oil yield (7.10 ml/kg) was found in N₂S₂ while the minimum plant height and oil yield was found in N₁S₂ and no. of primary branches, fresh herbage yield, dry herbage yield were found in N₃S₁.
