Response of inorganic fertilizers and FYM on physico chemical properties of soil of yellow mustard (Brassica campestris L.) cv. Ulhas

Abstract

A study was conducted on the “Response of inorganic fertilizers and FYM on physico-chemical properties of soil of yellow mustard (Brassica campestris L.) cv. Ulhas”, at soil science research farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences Allahabad. During rabi season of 2014-15. Soil pH (1:2.5), EC (dS m-1) and bulk density (g cm-3) decreased with increase in fertilizer levels. The lowest values related to all parameters were obtained in control treatment. Soil chemical properties, growth parameters, yield and oil content decreased in absolute control. Results revealed that all significant findings in treatment T8 - [i.e. N @ 80 kg ha-1 + P @ 60 kg ha-1 + K @ 40 kg ha-1 & S @ 40 kg ha-1 and FYM 10 t ha-1]
