Abstract:
An experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2021-22 at the Student Instructional Farm of Chandra Shekhar Azad University Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur (U.P.). To find out the suitable dose of nutrients and bio-fertilizer on economic and quality of mustard crop. The experiment was laid out in a Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replication. The experiment was comprised of sixteen treatment combinations in which four levels of nutrient management viz., Control, 75% RDF, 100% RDF, 125% RDF and four levels of bio-fertilizer viz., Control, Azotobacter @10 ml kg^-1 seed, PSB @10 ml kg^-1 seed, Azotob. @ 5ml + PSB @ 5ml kg^-1 seed. The result showed that the different nutrient management, applied of 125% RDF gave significantly better grain yield (18.74 q ha^-1), gross income (Rs. 104725.60 ha^-1), net income (Rs. 64388.39 ha^-1) and B:C ratio (2.60) and quality aspects viz., oil content (39.19%), oil yield (735.05 kg ha^-1), protein content (19.99%), and protein yield (374.85 kg ha^-1) in compare to control, 75% and 100% RDF, respectively. Application of bio-fertilizer, as Azotobacter @5 ml + PSB @5 ml kg^-1 seed gave significantly higher seed yield (18.11q ha^-1), gross income (Rs. 101278.90 ha^-1), net income (Rs. 63109.26 ha^-1), B:C ratio (2.63) oil content (39.20%), oil yield (658.95 Kg ha^-1), protein content (19.91%) and protein yield (361.06 Kg ha^-1) in compare to rest nutrient management. Therefore, the application of 125% RDF with Azotob. @5 ml + PSB @5 ml kg^-1 seed resulted significantly higher grain yield (21.75 q ha^-1), gross income (Rs. 121370.00 ha^-1), net income (Rs. 81007.50 ha^-1) and B: C ratio (3.00) during Rabi season of mustard crop.
