Abstract:
A field trial took place during the Rabi season of 2022-2023 at Rajoula Agriculture Farm, affiliated with Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya in Chitrakoot, Satna (M.P.). The study involved 10 treatment combinations, each replicated three times in a randomized block design. The cultivation of the Mustard variety Pusa Mahak was carried out following the prescribed agronomic practices. Based on the findings of the current study, it can be concluded that the application of T6 [100% NP + 15 kg Sulphur] demonstrated significantly increased growth parameters, including plant height (198.93 cm) and the number of branches per plant (6.13). Regarding yield-related characteristics, T3 [100% NP + 2.5 kg Zinc] resulted in the highest number of siliqua per plant (300.10), T9 [100% NP + 30 kg Sulphur + 2.5 kg Zinc] showed the maximum number of seeds per siliqua (15.20), and T6 [100% NP + 15 kg Sulphur] exhibited the highest 1000 seed weight (5.28 g). The treatment T10 [100% NP + 30 kg Sulphur + 5.0 kg Zinc] produced the highest grain yield (1943.46 kg ha-1), while T8 [100% NP + 15 kg Sulphur + 5.0 kg Zinc] resulted in the highest straw yield (6203.17 kg ha-1).
