Abstract:
A field experiment on different fertilizer levels viz., three levels of nitrogen (80, 100 and 120 kg N ha^-1), two levels of phosphorous (40 and 50 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1) and three levels of potassium (15, 30 and 45 kg K₂O ha^-1) carried out during Rabi season 2019-20 at Agricultural Research Station Ummedganj, Kota, Rajasthan. The experimental results revealed that application of 120 kg N ha^-1 was recorded significantly higher protein content, protein yield, oil content, oil yield, net return and B: C ratio over 80 kg N ha^-1 however, it was remained at par with 100 kg N ha^-1. The non-significant differences was recorded between 40 and 50 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1 for all quality parameters except oil yield, significantly higher net return was obtained with 50 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1. The application of 45 kg K₂O ha^-1 was produced significantly higher oil content, protein content, net return and B:C ratio over 15 kg K₂O ha^-1however, it was remained at par with 30 kg K₂O ha^-1. Hence, application of 100 kg N ha^-1, 50 kg P₂O₅ and 30 kg K₂O ha^-1 was found most remunerative treatment combination for getting maximum net return.
