Effect of different levels of nitrogen and sulphur on growth and yield of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss.) in salt affected soil

Field experiment entitled “Effect of different levels of nitrogen and sulphur on growth and of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss.] in salt affected soil” was carried out at Student instructional farm of N.D. University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad. The experiment comprised of four nitrogen levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg ha-1) and four sulphur levels (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg ha-1) tested in Randomized Block Design and replication three times. The growth characters such as plant height, number of primary and secondary branches plant-1, number of leaves plant-1 and dry matter accumulation plant-1 were maximum at 120 kg N ha-1 and 60 kg S ha-1. The maximum seed yield (19.20 and 18.39 q ha-1) and stover yield (59.49and 57.21 q ha-1) was recorded at 120 kg N, which was at par with 80 kg N ha-1. In case of sulphur application the maximum seed yield (18.89 and 18.08 q ha-1) and stover yield (58.38 and 55.16kg ha-1) was recorded at 60kg S ha-1, which was at par with 40 kg S ha-1
