The field experiment was conducted to assess the “Effect of integrated nutrient management on yield and quality of mustard (Brassica juncea L.) on Alfisols of Konkan (M.S.)” at Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Dr Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri (M.S.) during the month of December to March, 2017-18. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) comprising eleven treatment combinations replicated thrice. The study further revealed that the treatment receiving the application of 50 % RDN through inorganics + 50 % RDN through poultry manure along with 60 kg S and 1 kg B was found beneficial for obtaining higher yield and yield attributing characters viz. seed yield (19.60 q ha^-1), stover yield (33.04 q ha^-1), number of silique per plant (257.89) as well as quality parameters viz. oil (40.67%), protein (22.36%) and methionine (3.24%) content of mustard on lateritic soil of Konkan (M.S.).
