Response of sulphur and zinc levels on yield attributes of mustard crop (Brassica juncea L.)

Abstract

The field experiment on the topic “Response of sulphur and zinc levels on yield attributes of mustard crop (Brassica juncea L.)” was conducted in Agricultural Research Farm Pili Kothi of Tilak Dhari P.G. College, Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh in Rabi season of 2023-24. The soil of experiment field is well drained sandy loam soil with low organic content and average in nitrogen, phosphorous and potash content. The soil of the field is slightly alkaline nature and the electrical conductivity of the soil is 0.580 dsm-1. The variety of mustard used is VIGOUR-2311. This experiment is conducted with three levels of sulphur (00, 30, 40 kg ha-1) and zinc (00, 5.0, 7.5 kg ha-1) in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD). The yield attributes (number of silique plant-1, length of siliqua (cm), number of seeds siliqua-1 and test weight) is increasing from 0 to 40 kg ha-1 of sulphur doses and from 0 to 7.5 kg ha-1 of zinc doses. The highest values in all attributes are got on the application of 40 kg S ha-1 and 7.5 kg Zn ha-1 doses.
