Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during Ravi of 2022- 2023 farm Rama University, Kanpur (U.P.) located in Indo-Gangetic plains of Central Uttar Pradesh to study the Response of Integrated Nutrient Management on growth and yield of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L.). The trial was laid down in randomized block design ( RBD) with three replications and nine treatments viz T1 = RDF, T2 =75% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha^-1, T3 =100% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha^-1, T4 = 75% RDF + FYM @ 10 t ha^-1, T5 = 100% RDF + FYM @ 10 t ha^-1, T6 = 75% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha^-1, T7 = 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha^-1, T8 = 75% RDF + Vermicompost @ 5 t ha^-1, T9 = 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 5 t ha^-1,. Study results revealed that, there was significant statistical variation on growth and yield parameters. Maximum plant population, plant hight, number of branches, dry matter, leaf area index, number of siliques. seed yield, number of grains per silique and length of silique test weight higher harvest index in T₉ which was statistically at par with T₅ Maximum yield (23.37 q/ha) was recorded in T_9, which was statistically at par with treatment T₅ (22.77 q/ ha). It was evident that RDF with organic Manure is possible to produced more yield without much soil productivity.
