Impact of integrated nutrient management on growth, seed yield and quality of mustard (Brassica juncea L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Experimental Research Farm Janta Mahavidyalaya Ajitmal, Auraiya during 2015-16 to investigate the impact of integrated nutrient management on growth, seed yield and quality of mustard. The treatments consisted of different treatment viz., T1- Control, T2 -100 % RDF, T3 - FYM @2.5t ha-1+Sulphur @30 kg ha-1, T4 – Azotobactor (Seed treat.), T5 -75% RDF+ FYM 2.5t ha-1+Sulphur (30 kg ha-1), T6 -75% RDF+ Azotobactor (Seed treat.) and T7-75% RDF+ FYM 2.5t ha-1 + Azotobactor (Seed treat.) + Sulphur (30 kg ha-1) replicated three times in randomized block design. Application of 75% RDF+ FYM 2.5t ha-1 + Azotobactor (Seed treat.) + Sulphur (30kg ha-1) reported maximum plant height, number of primary branches plant-1, number of secondary branches plant-1, number of siliqua plant-1, number of seed siliqua-1, test weight and higher seed yield. Treatment combination T7 showed maximum root length, shoot length and seed vigour index over control.
