Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during rabi season in 2021-2022 at the student instructional field, Department of Agronomy, AKS University, Satna (M.P.), to evaluate the response of different levels of phosphorus and sulphur on growth, yield and quality of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.). The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design comprising two factors namely Sulphur with four levels viz., S₀ @ 0 kg/ha, S₁ @ 15 kg/ha, S₂ @ 25 kg/ha, S₃ @ 35 kg/ha along with three levels of Phosphorus viz., P₁ @ 20 kg/ha, P₂ @ 30 kg/ha, P₃ @ 40 kg/ha. Results of the current experiment implies application of Sulphur @ 35 kg/ha as compared to other levels found to be significant for plant height (168.53 cm), Number of branches per plant at 90 DAS (8.38), Number of leaves per plant at 90 DAS (42.67), Fresh weight (15.56), Dry weight (5.36), Number of siliquae per plant (255.56), Length of siliqua (5.71), Number of seeds per siliqua (10.98), Test weight (5.67), Seed yield per plant (7.47), Seed yield per plot (1.79), Seed yield per hectare (14.88), Stover yield per hectare (50.56), Harvest Index (22.71), Oil Content (42.47), Gross monetary return (86894.00), Net monetary return (64195.00), B: C ratio (2.83). whereas for phosphorus treatment @ 40 kg/ha found to be significant for plant height at 90 DAS (158.31), Number of branches per plant at 90 DAS (7.48), Number of leaves per plant at 90 DAS (39.60), Fresh weight (14.42), Dry weight (4.31), Number of siliquae per plant (234.30), Length of siliqua (5.21), Number of seeds per siliqua (9.90), Test weight (5.34), Seed yield per plant (6.97), Seed yield per plot (1.62), Seed yield per hectare (13.51), Stover yield per hectare (47.20), Harvest Index (22.09), Oil Content (41.11), Gross monetary return (79008.00), Net monetary return (56821.00), B: C ratio (2.54) exhibits higher significant values.
