Effect of FYM, Vermicompost and Fertility Levels on Yield Attributes of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L.)

Abstract

The field experiments were carried out during Rabi seasons of 2021 and 2022 at Student’s Instructional Farm (SIF), Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur, to study the Effect of FYM, Vermicompost and Fertility levels on growth and yield of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L.). The results from the research revealed that 100% RDF + 50% N through Vermicompost recorded significantly higher primary branches per plant, secondary branches per plant and also the total number of branches per plant at maturity stages. The same treatment also showed the highest number of siliques per plant (218.67) and highest weight of Silique / plant (16.30 g). The Length of Silique (6.50 cm) and number of seeds per siliques (16.40) was highest in the T14 treatment. Results from research also revealed that the treatment T14 also gave highest test weight of 6.40 grams.
