Title: Effect of Different Doses of Sulphur and Zinc with NPK on Different Growth Parameters and Yield Attribute of Yellow Mustard (Brassica compestris L.) cv. Sunanda
Abstract: The experiment was carried out at Soil Science and agricultural chemistry research farm SHUATS, Allahabad during rabi season 2016-17.The experiment was laid out in 3×3 factorial randomized block design with three replications, consisting of nine treatments.It was observed that the best yield attributes characters in treatment T 7 (@ 30 kg Sulphur ha -1 + 1.35 kg Zinc ha -1 ) in respect to different day's intervals i.e. 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 days after sowing (DAS).Plant height was 30.53, 85.56, 113.53, 135.53, and 154.46 cm found to be significant at 50, 75, 100 and 125 DAS but non-significant at 25 DAS, No. of leaves plant -1 were 4. 46, 11.4, 61.93, 74.2 and 49.33 found to be non-significant at 25, 75, 100 DAS but significant at 50 and 125 DAS.No. of Branches plant -1 were 3, 15.2, 26.73 and 32.33 found to be non-significant at 50, 75 DAS but significant at 100 and 125 DAS.No. of siliqua plant -1 was 143.2 found to be significant, T 8 (@ 30 kg Sulphur ha -1 + 2.75 kg Zinc ha -1 ) found highest Seed yield (q ha -1 ) and Test weight (g) which were 11.13 and 3.81 respectively found to be significant.Highest Stover yield (q ha -1 ) found in T 8 (@ 30 kg Sulphur ha -1 + 2.75 kg Zinc ha -1 ) which was 15.70 found to be non-significant.Highest B: C (1.57) was recorded in T 8 (@ 30 kg Sulphur ha -1 + 2.75 kg Zinc ha -1 ).However, since these findings are based on one year experiment and therefore, further research may be conducted to substantiate it under Allahabad agro climatic conditions.
