Effect of different levels of Phosphorus and Sulphur on physico-chemical properties of soil, growth and yield of Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) Cv. Varuna

Type: article
Abstract: The experiment was carried out at Soil Science and Agricultural chemistry research farm SHUATS, Allahabad during rabi season (October-March) 2017-18. The experiment was laid out in 32 factorial randomized block design with three replications, consisting of nine treatments. Treatment T8 (@ 40 Phosphorus kg ha-1 + 30 kg Sulphur ha-1) was found to be best in pH, EC, O.C (%), available Nitrogen (kg ha-1), Phosphorus (kg ha-1), Potassium (kg ha-1), and Sulphur (ppm) of which the results are 7.44, 0.24, 0.48, 245.22, 23.14, 201.10, 14.88 respectively. Soil chemical properties such as pH, EC, O.C (%), available nitrogen, available phosphorus and sulphur were found to be significant. Soil physical properties such as bulk density (Mg m-3), particle density (Mg m-3) and pore space (%) were found to be non-significant.
