Impact of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield Characteristics of Mustard (Brassica juncea L.)

The experiment was conducted at the Instructional Farm (SIF) of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh in the Rabi season of 2023-24. A Randomized Block Design was used for statistical analysis, with 10 treatments and 3 replications. The primary objectives of this study involved assessing the crop growth and yield attributes, in mustard crops subjected to different treatments. These treatments consisted of various chemical fertilizers, bio fertilizers, and nano fertilizers used in different combinations. Results revealed that, the effect of treatment T10 [Nano DAP @ 40ppm + RD of N&K (120:60) + Azotobacter @2 kg ha-1 + PSB @4 kg ha-1] was found to be best in terms of growth and yield attributes of crop, whereas minimum growth and yield attributes of crop was found under the effect of treatment T5 [Nano urea @ 60ppm + RD of P&K (60:60)].
