Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out during the winter (Rabi) season of 2021-22, at the student’s instructional farm, Aks University, Shergunj, Satna (M.P.) to ascertain Integrated Nutrient Management in Relation to Yield and uptake of Nutrients in Mustard Crop (Brassica juncea L.).The experiment consisted of twelve treatments i.e. T₁-Control,T₂-50% RDF + FYM, T₃- 50% RDF + Azotobactor + PSB,T₄-50% RDF + S, T₅-50% RDF + FYM + Azotobactor + PSB,T₆-75% RDF + S, T₇-75% RDF + FYM,T₈ - 75% RDF + Vermicompost, T₉-75% RDF + Azotobactor,T₁₀-100% RDF,T₁₁-100% RDF + S,T₁₂-100% RDF + Vermicompost. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Growth parameters like Plant height and Number of Silique per plant were noted highest with treatment T₁₂ (100% RDF + Vermicompost). Yield attributing characters such as Number of Seeds per Silique, 1000 Seed Weight and Grain yield were found significantly higher with increasing the level of NPK. Finally concluded that higher nutrient uptake (NPKS) was observed when FYM +Vermicompost +Sulphur was integrated with the inorganic fertilizer compared to the inorganic fertilizer applied alone. The combination of FYM and biofertilizer with inorganic fertilizers improved soil fertility compared to applying inorganic fertilizers alone.
