Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth Parameters, Yield Attributes and Yield of Mustard Crop in Chitrakoot Area

Abstract

This field experiment was carried out during Rabi season of 2022-23 at Rajoula Agriculture farm, of Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya Chitrakoot, Satna (M.P.). The experiment having 9 treatment combinations replicated thrice in randomized block design. Mustard variety Pusa Mahak was grown with recommended agronomic practices. On the basis of the results emanated from current investigation, it could be concluded that application of T6 [IPNS (NPK + OM) (40:50:0 + 5 t FYM)] significantly recorded maximum growth parameters such as plant height (188.34 cm), number of branches plant-1 (6.37) and maximum yield attributing characters such as number of siliqua plant-1 (295.85), number of seed siliqua-1 (13.48) and 1000 seed weight (6.52 g). The findings showed highest grain yield (2179.83 kg ha-1) and straw yield (8304.75 kg ha-1), with treatment T6 [IPNS (NPK + OM) (40:50:0 + 5 t FYM)] in comparison to all the treatments. While the minimum value of growth parameters viz. plant height (169.24 cm), number of branches plant-1 (4.93) and yield attributes such as number of siliqua plant-1 (241.52), number of seed siliqua-1 (12.45) and 1000 seed weight (4.8 g) recorded under the treatment T9 [Absolute control].
