Effect of inorganic fertilizers and FYM on yellow mustard (Brassica campestris L.) Cv, an economic analysis

Abstract

A study was conducted in Soil Science Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture Technology & Sciences Deemed-to-be-University. During Rabi season 2014-15 on the response of inorganic fertilizers and FYM on Yield attributes of Yellow Mustard. The result indicates that application of 100% recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers (NPK &S) and FYMha-1increased the total cost of cultivation of yellow mustard markedly. The maximum total cost of cultivation (Rs.74460 ha-1) and the highest net return (Rs.47496 ha-1) with highest cost benefit ratio (1:2.76) was computed with application of 100 per cent recommended dose of fertilizers (NPK &S) and also FYM ha−1 in treatment T8 (i.e.N@80kg + P@60kg + K@40kg & S@40kg and FYM 10t ha-1) followed by net profit of Rs.34776 with cost benefit ratio of (1:2.74) was recorded with 50% recommended dose of fertilizers application of NPK&Sha-1and 0% application of FYM. Hence, there should be a chance of better yield and net income, suggested application inorganic fertilizers and FYM timely for this crop because time is a very important factor and play great role for greater yield and its quality, before time or after time any operations in the field of agriculture production and quality will goes down. However, since these findings are based on one-year experiment and therefore, further research may be conducted to substantiate it under Allahabad agro climatic conditions.
