Abstract:
A research trial was conducted at Research Farm, Vivekananda Global University, Jaipur during Rabi season of 2018-19, to know the effect of nitrogen and sulphur on yield and economics of mustard [Brassica juncea (L.)]. The experiment was performed according to randomized block design with three replications. The treatments consisting of 9 treatment combinations viz., 125% RDN + Sulphur 10 kg ha^-1 (T₁), 125% RDN + Sulphur 20 kg ha^-1 (T₂), 125% RDN + Sulphur 30 kg ha^-1 (T₃), 100% RDN + Sulphur 10 kg ha^-1 (T₄), 100% RDN + Sulphur 20 kg ha^-1 (T₅), 100% RDN + Sulphur 20 kg ha^-1 (T₅) 100% RDN + Sulphur 30 kg ha^-1 (T₆), 75% RDN + Sulphur 10 kg ha^-1 (T₇), 75% RDN + Sulphur 20 kg ha^-1 (T₈) and 75% RDN + Sulphur 30 kg ha^-1 (T₉) were applied to the mustard var. Laxmi (RH-8812). Results revealed that various nitrogen and sulphur treatments considerably boosted mustard's growth. With the application of 125% of the recommended nitrogen dose plus 30 kg of sulphur per hectare (T₃), the maximum Plant stand metre^-1 row length, Plant height, Branches plant^-1, and Dry matter accumulation (g m^-1 row length) of mustard were achieved. As a result, this treatment was advised for achieving maximum growth with increased financial returns.
