Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at G.B.P.U.A.T, Pantnagar, to study the residual effect of varying levels of sulphur, zinc and boron in mustard grown after cluster bean crop in a Mollisol. The experiment was conducted with 13 treatments comprising of soil as well as foliar application. The highest seed yield (1.74 t ha-1 ) and stover yield (5.25 t ha-1 ) were recorded from 40 kg and 60 S ha-1 , respectively. The highest total B uptake (91.48 g ha-1was observed under 1.5 kg B ha-1 . The highest total Zn uptake by the pods (86.07 g ha-1 ) was observed under combined foliar applications of 0.25% Zn and 0.20% borax. However, the highest total S uptake (35.43 kg ha-1 was observed under 60 kg S ha-1 . It was concluded that with application of 4 kg Zn ha-1 , 1.5 kg B ha-1 , and 40 kg S ha-1 , a better yield of the mustard and B, Zn, and S absorption can be attained.
