Performance of Indian Mustard cv. Kesari Gold under different Sowing Method and Nutrient Management

Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2019-20 to study Performance of Indian mustard cv. Kesari Gold under different sowing method and nutrient management. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. The main plot treatments consisted of three methods of sowing viz. transplanting, broadcasting and line sowing and in sub plot four nutrient management viz. [NM1 = 60:30:30 (N: P2O5:K2O kg ha-1), NM2 = 70:35:35 (N: P2O5:K2O kg ha-1), NM3= 80:40:40 (N: P2O5:K2O kg ha-1), NM4= 90:45:45 (N: P2O5:K2O kg ha-1)]. The transplanting method of sowing technique was found to be promising in respect to growth, productivity and profitability. Crop receiving 90 kg N, 45 kg P2O5 and 45 kg K2O ha-1 was satisfactorily treatment for superior crop growth and yield and lucrative B: C ratio of mustard.
