ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted during the rabi seasons of 2010-11and 2011-12 to assess the Impact of sulphur nutrition on promising mustard cultivars in eastern Uttar Pradesh. The experiment was conducted with randomized block design and replicated three times. Twelve treatment combinations consisted of four sulphur levels viz., S0 (0 kg S ha-1), S1 (20 kg S ha-1), S2 (40 kg S ha-1) and S3 (60 kg S ha-1) and three varieties viz., V1 (Varuna), V2 (Rohini) and V3 (Narendra Rai -8501) were allocated randomly. Results revealed that all the growth, yield attributes and quality were increased significantly under 60 kg S ha-1. The growth characters viz., plant height, leaf area index, dry matter accumulation and number of branches plant-1 and yield attributes like number of siliqua plant-1, number of seed siliqua-1, length of siliqua (cm) and seed and stover yields of mustard crop were significantly higher with Narendra Rai-8501 as compared to Varuna and Rohini. The highest net return and B:C ratio were computed under 60 kg S ha-1 with Narendra Rai-8501. Mustard variety Narendra Rai 8501 at 60 kg sulphur ha-1 proved most remunerative and economically feasible for cultivation under the agroclimatic condition of eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Key words: Sulphur levels, Varieties, Growth, Yield attributes, Quality and Economics.
