Abstract

The effect of vermicompost and nutrients with the bio-fertilisers on the quality, growth, and uptake of nutrients by mustard (Brassica juncea L.) was investigated in a field trial at the Agronomy Research Farm of Rashtriya Kisan College, Shamli (U.P.), during the rabi season 2019–20. A RBD design with three replications was used to set up the experimental unit. Use of treatments during research work of mustard var. Laxmi consisting of nine treatment combinations, viz., control (T0), 75 % RDF (T1), 100 % RDF (T2), vermicompost @ 2 t ha-1 (T3), FYM 10 t ha-1 + azotobacter (T4), 75 % RDF + vermicompost (2 t ha-1) + Azotobacter (T5), 100 % RDF + vermicompost (2 t ha-1) + azotobacter (T6), 75 percent RDF + FYM 10 t ha-1 + Azotobacter (T7) and 100 % RDF + FYM 10 t ha-1 + azotobacter (T8). The application of 100 % RDF + vermicompost (2 t ha-1) + azotobacter (T6) was found to maximise plant height, dry matter accumulation, number of branches plant-1, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium content and uptake in seed and stover, oil content, and oil yield and remaining treatment T2, T5, T7, and T8 at par. The soil microflora derives its energy from organic matter, and the amount of organic carbon in the soil is regarded as a measure of its health. INM is a flexible approach that aims to maximise farmers' profits while minimising the use of chemical nutrient sources.

Mustard, vermicompost, azotobacter, organic matter

Conclusion

According to the study's findings, different sources of nutrient treatments significantly improved the growth, yield and quality of mustard. It can be concluded that the application of synthetic fertilizer in combination with organic manures and biofertilizer was the most suitable for mustard.
