Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2021-22 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology And Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India to determine the “Effect of Nitrogen and Weed management on growth and yield of Toria (Brassica rapa L.)”. The experiment was laid out on Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice on the basis of one year experimentation. The results showed that treatment-7 (50 kg/ha N + Hand Weeding) was recorded significantly higher plant height (112.22 cm), maximum dry weight (16.47 g/plant), maximum Number of Siliquae/plant (197.08), Number of Seeds/Siliquae (20.38), Test weight (3.81 g), Seed yield (1.48 t/ha) and Stover yield (3.61 t/ha) as compared to other treatments. Whereas significantly highest Crop growth rate (7.04 g/m²/day) was recorded with the treatment-6 (40 kg/ha N + Weedy check).
