A field experiment was conducted at Research Farm of Vivekananda Global University, Jaipur (Rajasthan) during Rabi, 2023-24 on loamy sand soil, which consisted 10 treatments with different combination of sulphur and phosphorus. For experimentation, mustard variety Bio-902 was used.
The results of one year study clearly showed that combination of phosphorus and sulphur application brought an additive effect in increasing growth and yield parameters of mustard as compared to control. Maximum plant height, dry matter accumulation, number of silique plant-1, number of seeds silique-1, seed yield, stover yield and biological yield of mustard was significantly obtained with 45 kg phosphorus ha-1 + 40 kg sulphur ha-1 (T9) over rest of the treatments. The plant population, number of branches plant-1, test weight and harvest index of mustard was remained unchanged under phosphorus and sulphur applications. Therefore, application of 45 kg phosphorus ha-1 + 40 kg sulphur ha-1 (T9) were found most profitable as it gave highest seed yield.
