Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at farmers field during rabi season in the year 2014-15 and 2015-16 to study the influence of sulphur application on seed yield of mustard. Six levels of sulphur were applied to supply (15kg S ha-1, 20kg Sha-1, 25kg S ha-1, 30kg S ha-1, 35kg S ha-1 and 40kg S ha-1). Results of the experiment revealed that yield attributes like plant height, number of primary and secondary branches per plant, number of siliquae per plant,number of seeds per siliqua,and1000 seed weight were maximum in T4 treatment where 25kg S ha-1 was applied and minimum in T1 treatment (control). However, there was no significant influence of treatments on plant height, number of primary branches and secondary per plant. Seed and stover yield of mustard was significantly influenced with sulphur application. The seed and stover yield increased progressively and significantly with each successive doses of sulphur application but maximum seed yield was observed in T4 treatment where 25 kg S ha-1was applied.
