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 quality and yield 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 quality and yield. With the application of 125% of the recommended nitrogen dose plus 30 kg of sulphur per hectare (T3), the maximum nutrient content (N and S) in seed and stover, nutrient uptake (N and S) in seed and stover, protein content (%) in seed, oil content in seed and oil yield of mustard were achieved. As a result, this treatment was advised for achieving best quality with increased yield.

Conclusion

The impact of nitrogen and sulphur application on quality parameter and yield was highly significant in mustard. The present study found consistent evidence that the application of nitrogen and sulphur offers substantial agronomic and economic advantages. Based on the results of one year experimentation it may be concluded that for higher profitability and productivity, the mustard crop should be supplied 125% recommended dose of nitrogen + 30 kg sulphur ha-1 as it provides the maximum values of nutrient content (N and S) in seed and stover, nutrient uptake (N and S) in seed and stover, protein content (%) in seed, oil content in seed and oil yield so 125% recommended dose of nitrogen + 30 kg sulphur ha-1 was found suitable for farmer practices on the basis of Best quality and yield of this treatment.
