Effect of sewage sludge, and sulphur level on soil properties and yield of mustard (Brassica juncea L.) crop in inceptisol of Prayagraj soil
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of sewage sludge and different of sulphur level on soil properties of mustard. The design applied was Factorial Randomised Block Design. The study consisted of 16 combinations of treatments, which was replicated thrice. The Bulk Density (Db) and Particle Density (Dp) of T11 (Sulphur @ 30 Kg ha-1 + Sewage sludge @ 12 t ha-1) and T15 (Sulphur @ 45 Kg ha-1 + Sewage sludge @ 12 t ha-1) were observed to be decreasing whereas, increasing in Water Holding Capacity and% Pore Space for T11 and T15. T15 showed the highest amount of percent Organic Carbon, available Nitrogen (Kg ha-1), available Phosphorus (Kg ha-1), available Potassium (Kg ha-1) and Sulphur (Kg ha-1). Effect of application of sewage sludge and Sulphur resulted in positive impact on physico-chemical properties of soil.
