Application of 120 kg N+60 kg P2O5+40 kg K2O+40 kg sulphur+5 kg Zn+0.2% Bo spray before flowering (F5) recorded significantly higher plant height (except 30 DAS), primary branching and yield over rest of the treatments but remained at par with 120 kg N+60 kg P2O5+40 kg K2O+40 kg S+5 kg Zn (F4). However, significantly higher oil content was recorded with 120 kg N+ 60 kg P2O5+40 kg K2O+40 kg S+5 kg Zn+0.2% Bo spray before flowering over rest of the treatments but remained at par with 120 kg N+60 kg P2O5+40 kg K2O+ 40 kg S and 120 kg N+60 kg P2O5+40 kg K2O+40 kg S+5 kg Zn. Among the different varieties, Narendra Rai-1 being at par with Vardan recorded significantly higher plant height (except 30 DAS), primary branching as well as yield and oil content over Narendra Ageti Rai- 4.Read More
