Effect of Zinc and Sulphur Elements on Growth Performance and Productivity of Yellow Mustard (Sinapis alba) Grown under Prayagraj Conditions

The field experiment was conducted during Rabi season, 2021 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) under sandy loam soil conditions. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice comprising three levels of Zinc (6, 8 and 10 kg/ha) and three sulphur levels (20 kg S/ha, 40 kg S/ha and 60 kg S/ha). The experiment results showed that the growth parameters and yield parameters such as plant height (55.3 cm), plant dry weight (8.8 g/plant), number of siliqua per plant (132.0), number of seeds per siliqua (31.7), test weight (3.9 g), seed yield (2.12 t/ha), stover yield (3.5 t/ha) and harvest index (35.8 %) recorded significantly higher in the treatment with the application of zinc 10 kg/ha + 60 kg/ha sulphur as compared to other treatment combinations. Generally it can be concluded that both zinc and sulphur are bifacial for yellow mustard grown on sandy loam soil.
