Effect of integrated nutrient management on Indian mustard yield attributes and yield

Abstract

A field experiment was laid out during rabi–season 2019-2020 at Institute of Agriculture Sciences, SAGE university Indore (Madhya Pradesh) to the effect of two levels of RDF (100% and 75%) with two organic manure (poultry manure and vermicompost) and two biofertilizer (Azotobacter and Azospirillium) on indian Hybrid Mustard NRCH B506 (Brassica juncea L.). the yield attributes like no. of siliqua per plant, No. of seed per plant, test weight of seed, and as well as stover yield significantly increased with the application of vermicompost over control. seed inoculation with using of microbial culture highly increased the stover and seed yield. Treatment T9 that is 75% RDF+S @ 40 kg ha-1+Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1+Azotobacter+PSB was observed remarkable highest yield attributes and stover yield as well as seed yield followed by Treatment T8 75% RDF + S@ 40 kg ha-1 + Vermicompost @ 5t ha-1. Maximum seed yield was obtained by using bio-fertilizer in treatment combination.
