Key Conclusions
In comparison with the existing Farmer practices, the ICL practice, via the usage of Polysulphate fertilizer, demonstrated a considerable increase in the Bunch weight of the Grapes, size of Berry and the overall Grapes yield per hectare. This translates to additional returns per hectare and also the marginal cost benefit ratio for Grapes crops in Indian conditions
Objective
To evaluate the effect of Polysulphate on growth and yield parameters of Grapes

Results
The average bunch weight is 632 gm in ICL Practice whereas the same was 453.6 gm in the Farmer Practice. The berry size was 16.8 in ICL Practice and 16.2 in Farmer Practice. The average yield per plant was 20.2 and 17.6Kg/plant in ICL and Farmer Practice respectively. The yield/ha was 450 q/ha and 400q/ha in ICL and Farmer Practice respectively i.e., 13% higher than the Farmer Practice. The additional returns/ha was of ₹2,00,000 with an MCBR of 25.
