Effect of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on growth and yield of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L.)

Abstract

Present experiment was laid out at Agriculture farm, Rama University Kanpur during 2020-21 1.: Plant Population, Plant height (cm), Number of branches plant-1 , 2. Post harvest studies: Plant character, Number of siliquae plant-1 , Number of seeds siliqua-1 , Siliqua length (cm), Seed weight / plant, Weight of Siliqua/plant, (ii) Yield Character, Biological yield, Seed yield (q ha-1 ), Stover yield (q ha-1 ) (iii). Test weight (g), iv). Harvest index, Economics:- Benefit: cost ratio. Gross income, Net income, Cost of cultivation The superior plant height and plant population registered from plot which was treated T8 (75% RDF + FYM 20 t ha-1 + Azotobacter +PSB). In similar lines the grain and straw yield was also recorded highest for the same. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design, the experiment consist of 8 treatments with three Replications
