Response of foliar feeding of Bioregulator and Micro nutrient on soil health and yield attributes of mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern) var. Nandi-321

Abstract

An experiment was carried out at Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry Research farm, Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during rabi season 2020-21 is located at 250 24’ 42” N latitude and 810 50’ 56” E longitudes at 98 m altitude above the mean sea level, trial was laid out in 3×3 factorial randomized block design with three replications, consisting of nine treatments. Treatment T9 (@ 100% RDF+ZnSO4 @ 10 kg ha-1+NC @ 500g ha-1) was found to be best. The pH, EC, OC, available Nitrogen (kg ha-1), Phosphorus (kg ha-1) @ Potassium (kg ha-1), Sulphur (ppm) and Zinc (ppm) which were as 7.44, 0.27, 069, 325.82,30.67,205.06and1.51 respectively. The soil physical properties as the texture (Sandy loam), bulk density (Mg m-3), particle density (Mg m-3) and Pore space (%) were found to be significant. Soil Health can be maintained with integrated management practices.
