Abstract:
During the Rabi season of 2012–2013, a field experiment was undertaken at IGKV, Bhartiya College of Agriculture, Durg (C.G.) with the goal of determining how potassium and sulphur affected the growth and yield of mustard under irrigation. With 12 treatments and three replications, the experiment was set up using a factorial randomised block design (FRBD). Treatments comprised applying mustard plants with three levels of potassium (25 kg/ha, 50 kg/ha, and 75 kg/ha) and three levels of sulphur (40 kg/ha, 60 kg/ha, and 80 kg/ha).
During the Rabi season of 2012–2013, a field experiment was undertaken at IGKV, Bhartiya College of Agriculture, Durg (C.G.) with the goal of determining how potassium and sulphur affected the growth and yield of mustard under irrigation. With 12 treatments and three replications, the experiment was set up using a factorial randomised block design (FRBD). Treatments comprised applying mustard plants with three levels of potassium (25 kg/ha, 50 kg/ha, and 75 kg/ha) and three levels of sulphur (40 kg/ha, 60 kg/ha, and 80 kg/ha).
The plant height, number of green leaves per plant, number of primary and secondary branches, dry matter output, number of siliquae per plant, seed yield per plant, and stover yield per plant were only a few of the growth and yield characteristics of mustard that were measured.
According to the findings, applying potassium at a rate of 75 kg per ha led to significantly higher values for the majority of growth and yield parameters than applying potassium at a rate of 25 kg per ha. However, it was discovered that for the majority of features, potassium application at 50 kg/ha was equivalent to treatment at 75 kg/ha.
Similar to this, applying sulphur at a rate of 60 kg/ha resulted in noticeably higher values for growth and yield attributes than applying sulphur at a rate of 20 kg/ha. However, it was discovered that for the majority of qualities, the 40 kg/ha application of sulphur was equivalent to the 60 kg/ha treatment.
In terms of seed yield and stover output, the 75 kg/ha potassium application produced yields that were noticeably larger than the 25 kg/ha potassium treatment (1290 kg/ha for seed and 4100 kg/ha for stover). The 50 kg/ha potassium treatment, however, had yields of seeds and stover that were comparable to those of the 75 kg/ha treatment.
In terms of sulphur application, the 60 kg/ha treatment yielded significantly more stover yield (41.46 quintals/ha) and seed yield (13.41 quintals/ha) than the 20 kg/ha treatment. However, the seed and stover yields from the 40 kg/ha sulphur treatment were comparable to those from the 60 kg/ha treatment.
In general, the results showed that higher potassium and sulphur application rates (75 kg/ha and 60 kg/ha, respectively) led to better growth and higher mustard yields, but lower application rates (25 kg/ha and 20 kg/ha) demonstrated worse performance. The results emphasise the need of effective nitrogen management for improving mustard crop development and yield under irrigation.
