Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted during rabi 2020 at Central Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.). To study the “Influence of boron and sulphur levels on growth and yield attributes of Yellow Mustard (Sinapis alba)”. There were 9 treatments each replicated thrice. The treatment consists of 3 levels of sulphur viz. S₁ (20 kg ha^-1), S₂ (25 kg ha^-1), S₃ (30 kg ha^-1) and 3 levels of boron viz. B₁ (1 kg ha^-1), B₂ (2 kg ha^-1) and B₃ (3 kg ha^-1) as basal application, whose effect was observed on mustard. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design. The results revealed that growth parameters viz. plant height (135.25cm) and dry weight (34.04 g/plant) at 100 DAS were recorded superior with the application of Sulphur 30 kg/ha + Boron 3 kg/ha. Whereas, crop growth rate (13.11 g/m²/day) at 80-100 DAS were recorded superior with the application of Sulphur 30 kg/ha + Boron 2 kg/ha. As well as significantly maximum Yield parameters viz. number of silique/plant (96), length of silique (5.8cm), test weight (2.93g), number of seeds//silique (32), stover yield (4.02 t/ha) and seed yield (1.78 t/ha) were recorded superior with the application of Sulphur 30 kg/ha + Boron 3 kg/ha.
