Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at instructional farm, Department of Agronomy, School of Agriculture, ITM University, Gwalior (M.P.) during Rabi season 2020- 21. A set of 12 treatment combinations including four Sulphur levels viz., 0 kg/ha (S₀), 20 kg/ha (S₁), 40 kg/ha (S₂) and 60 kg/ha (S₃) with three vermicompost levels viz., 0 t/ha(V₁), 2 t/ha(V₂) and 4 t/ha (V₃) were evaluated. Treatments were replicated thrice as per Randomized Block design with Factorial concept. The significantly higher plant height, number of leaves as well as branches per plant, number of siliquae per plant, length of siliqua, number of seeds per siliqua, test weight, seed and Stover yield per hectare of mustardat harvesting stage was recorded under the application of Sulphur @ 60 kg/ha in combination with application of vermicompost @ 4 t/ha with the respective values of 165.47 cm, 38.40, 20.90, 429.79, 7.72 cm, 17.47, 4.39 g, 21.14 q/ha and62.04 q/ha, respectively proved significantly superior to rest of the treatments. Result showed that mustard variety when sown with application of Sulphur @ 60 kg/ha in combination with application of vermicompost @4 t/harecorded the maximum and significantly higher values of these parameters.
