Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of session 2023-24 at the Agricultural Research Farm, School of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, RIMT University, Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab to study the “Response of phosphorus and sulphur levels on growth yield attributes and yield of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.)”. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design and replicated thrice. The experiment comprised of twelve treatment combinations with three levels of phosphorus and four levels of sulphur. The results revealed that the application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 + 40 kg S ha-1 treatment had produced significantly higher growth parameter viz., plant population (22.70 plants m-2), plant height (204.27 cm), number of branches plant-1 (19.47), yield attributes and yield viz., number of siliquae plant-1 (151.20), number of seed silique-1(15.13), test weight (4.87g), grain yield (22.37q ha-1), biological yield (83.23q ha-1) and harvest index (27.47%). It may be concluded that the treatment T12: 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 + 40 kg S ha-1 enhanced the growth parameter, yield attributes and yield

Conclusion

In conclusion, the result revealed that the treatment T12 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 + 40 kg S ha-1 enhanced the growth parameter viz., plant population, plant height, number of branches plant-1 and yield attributes viz., number of silique plant-1, number of seeds silique-1, test weight, grain yield, biological yield. And also performed economically better as compared to other treatments
