Effect of nutrient combinations on economics of mustard (Brassica juncea L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of sulphur, zinc and boron treatment combinations on plant growth, yield and its attributes on mustard at Central Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The treatment combinations of the study were as sulphur (0, 30 and 40 kg/ha) zinc (0 and 5 kg/ha) and boron (0% and 0.2% spray) respectively. There were 12 treatments each replicated thrice.Addition of 40 Kg S along with 5 kg Zn and 0.2% Boron spray resulted significant higher seed yield and stalk yield (1893.33 Kg/ha) and (3161.33 Kg/ha) respectively and gross return (₹ 90892.13), net return (₹58396.53) and B:C (1.79) ratio were also recorded higher.
