Abstract:
The experiment was conducted during the Rabi season 2020, at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHUATS), Prayagraj (U.P.). The soil of the experimental field is sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), the available P and K fertilizers are applied along with different levels of nitrogen and sulphur. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments replicated thrice. The treatment with Nitrogen 60kg/ha + Sulphur 10kg/ha found significantly higher in plant height (132.83 cm), dry weight (14.87 g/plant), and crop growth rate (0.018 g/m²/day), as compared to other treatments. Maximum number of siliqua/plant (55.13), seeds/siliqua (2.23), test weight(4.50 g), seed yield (3.24 t/ha) and stover yield (2.21t/ha) were found significantly higher with the application of treatment Nitrogen 60kg/ha + Sulphur 10kg/haas compared to other treatments. Maximum Gross return (29160 INR/ha), Net return (13240.2 INR/ha) and B: C ratio (1.83) were recorded in treatment with the application of Nitrogen 60kg/ha + Sulphur 10kg/ha.
