Effect of Sulphur Levels on Growth and Yield of Mustard Varieties

Abstract

Background: The field experiment was entitled “Effect of sulphur levels on growth and yield of Mustard varieties” was conducted during rabi 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.2), low in organic carbon (0.22 %), available N (171.48 kg/ha), available P (12.3 kg/ha) and available K (235.7 kg/ha). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments which are replicated thrice. The results obtained that growth parameters viz. plant height (186.80 cm), Number of branches (18.00) and dry weight (39.23 g/plant) were recorded higher with the application of Varuna T - 59 + Sulphur – 25 kg/ha. Significantly maximum Yield parameters viz. number of siliquae/plant (321.12), test weight (4.86 g), number of seeds/silique (15.60) , Seed yield (1.71t/ha) and stover yield(3.43 t /ha) were recorded superior with the application of Varuna T - 59 + Sulphur – 25 kg/ha.
