Impact of organic modules on higher value crop mustard (Brassica juncea (L.)

Abstract

A field experiment conducted at Agronomy Research Farm, N.D. University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad during the Rabi season of 2015-16 evaluated organic modules' impact on high-value crop mustard (Brassica juncea L.). Employing Randomized Block Design and replicated three times, the experiment featured seven treatments. Notable treatments included T1 (50% RDF of NPK + 50% N as FYM + 5 kg Zn as ZnO) and T7 (100% of NPK + Recommended dose of S and Zn). Results demonstrated significant enhancements in growth, yield attributes, and quality under T7. Parameters such as plant height, leaf area index, dry matter accumulation, as well as yield attributes and yields, notably increased with T7 during the course of the investigation. This underscores the efficacy of T7 in augmenting the productivity and quality of mustard crops.
