Abstract:
Present experiment entitled “Effect of organic and Inorganic Sources of nutrient on production and productivity of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.)”” was conducted during the Rabi season of 2022 - 23 at Agriculture Research Farm, Rama University, Mandhana, Kanpur. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and eight treatments viz. T₁ = 100% RDF (80:60:40 NPK), T₂ =70% RDF (80:60:40 NPK), T₃ =100% RDF + FYM 10 t ha^-1, T₄ =100% RDF + Azotobacter + PSB, T₅ =75% RDF + FYM 25 t ha^-1 +Azotobacter + PSB, T₆ =100% RDF +FYM 15 t ha^-1+Azotobacter + PSB, T₇ =100% RDF + FYM 20 t ha^-1 + Azotobacter + PSB, T₈ =100% RDF + FYM 10 t ha^-1 + Azotobacter + PSB, T₉ =NAA 125 ppm foliar spray at 30 and 45 DAT. The result of the study revealed that the maximum plant population (9.56), Plant height (128.96 cm), Number of branches/plant (44.82), number of leaves / plant (19.50), Number of siliqua/ plant (121.67) length of siliqua (7.19 cm), number of seeds/ siliqua (17.53), weight of siliqua (10.72 gm), test weight (5.03g) Biological yield/ ha (7784.70 kg), Straw yield (5545.82 kg), and Harvest Index (28.76) was reported in treatment T₇ =100% RDF + FYM 20 t ha^-1 + Azotobacter + PSB followed by treatment T₅ =75% RDF + FYM 25 t ha^-1 +Azotobacter + PSB. Basis on these results treatment T₇ can be suggested to the local farmer of Kanpur regions to obtain higher yield and better quality of Mustard.
