Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in Rabi 2020 at Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.). The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.36%) available N (171.48 kg/ha), available P (15.2 kg/ha) and available K (232.5 kg/ha). The trial was placed out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice. The treatments are T1: PSB +15 kg/ha S, T2: PSB + 30 kg/ha S, T3: PSB + 45 kg/ha S, T4: Azotobacter + 15 kg/ha S, T5: Azotobacter +30 kg/ha S, T6: Azotobacter + 45 kg/ha S, T7: VAM + 15 kg/ha S, T8: VAM + 30 kg/ha S, T9: VAM + 45 kg/ha S used. The results showed that viz: plant height (94.46 cm), Branches (10.60), dry weight (23.71 g) number of siliquae per plant (133.92), seeds per siliquae (33.80) and test weight (3.63 g) were recorded significantly higher with application of PSB + 45 kg S/ha. Moreover, maximum seed yield (1.80 t/ha) and stover yield (3.36

Keywords

Mustard, Biofertilizers, Sulphur, siliquae and seed yield.

Conclusion

On the basis of present study, suggests that the application of PSB + 45 kg/ha S resulted highest plant height (94.46 cm), number of branches per plant (10.60), siliquae/plant (133.92), seeds/siliquae (33.80), seed yield of (1.80 t/ha), stover yield (3.36 t/ha).
