Effect of Rock Phosphate, Sulphur and Biofertilizer on Growth, Yield attribute and Yield of Mustard (Brassica juncea L.)

Abstract

The present study was undertaken to evaluates the effect of rock phosphate, sulphur and bio-fertilizer on growth, yield attribute, yield and economics of mustard (Brassica juncea L.) var. Bio-902 under Southern Rajasthan. A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2015-16 at Instructional Farm (Agronomy), Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur (Rajasthan). The experiment was laid out according to randomized block design with three replications. The treatments consisting of three levels of rock phosphate (control, 30 kg ha-1 and 60 kg ha-1), three levels of sulphur (control, 20 kg ha-1 and 40 kg ha-1) and two levels of bio-fertilizer (control and PSB) were applied to the mustard as soil application with uniform application of nitrogen, potassium as per recommended doses. The results indicates the plant height, test weight, seed, stover and biological yields of mustard significantly increased with the application of rock phosphate, sulphur and bio-fertilizer during year of experiment.
