Abstract

A field experiment was laid out in randomized block design (factorial) with three replication at agronomy Research farm Ayodhya (U.P.) during the rabi season. Fifteen treatments comprised of five levels of sulphur i.e. 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 kg S ha-1 and three varieties namely NDR-8501, Vardan and Varuna of Mustard to find out appropriate dose of sulphur and suitable variety for higher production. The experiment was sown in the field, having the soil texture silty loam, pH 7.9, O.C 0.32%, EC 0.33ds/m and available N, available P, available K, available S and available Zn were 180.4 kg/ha, 18.4 kg/ha, 290 kg/ha, 7.3 (ppm) and 0.59 (ppm), respectively. Among the various treatments sulphur dose 60 kg S/ha significantly influenced the plant height, number of branches/plant, leaf area index, number of siliqua/plant, length of siliqua, number of seeds/siliqua and dry matter accumulation/plant, which was at par with 30 and 45 Kg S/ha and significantly superior over rest levels of sulphur. whereas, effect of sulphur on Harvest index, 1000 grain weight (g), nitrogen and protein content were found non-significant. Seed yield, Stover yield and sulphur content in seed and stover was significantly increased with increasing dose of sulphur up to 60 Kg/ha superior over control, 15 and 30 Kg S/ha and at par with 45 Kg S/ha.
