Response of nutrient management on growth and yield of rapeseed under rice fallow condition in Bishnupur district of Manipur

Abstract

A Field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Farm of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Utlou, Bishnupur District, Manipur, India during rabi season 2018-2019 to study the effect of DAP application to preceding rice and foliar nutrition to rapeseed on the productivity and profitability of rapeseed (M-27) under rice fallow condition. The results indicated that application of 100 kg DAP ha-1 at 15 days before harvest of preceding rice + 1% Urea + 1% KCl foliar spray twice at flowering initiation and 15 days after flowering to rapeseed registered higher growth as well as yield attributes (siliquae plant-1, siliqua length (cm), seeds siliqua-1) with resultant increased in seed (675.35 kg ha-1) and stover (2205.59 kg ha-1) yields.
