SULPHUR AND BORON ON GROWTH, YIELD,OIL AND NUTRIENT CONTENT OF MUSTARD (BARI SHARISHA-9)

Abstract

This experiment was conducted in the experimental held of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University. Dhaka to know the Combined effect of diFferent levels of Sulphur and Boron on yield and yield contributing characters of"I3ARI sharisha-9" mustard as well as the nutrient content and their uptake by mustard plant.s and seeds. The experiment consisted oltwo factors namely. thur Sulphur levels (0. 10. 20 and 30kg S hzi') and thur Boron levels (0. I. 2 and 3 kg B haS '). It was replicated thrice in a randomized complete block design. The Combined effect of Sulphur and Boron excrted significant influence on most of the selected characteristics viz. plant height (cm), number of branches planr' (no.). pod length (cm). capsule plani' (no.) seed capsule-' (no.). 1000 seed weight (g), grain yield (t had), stover yield (t ha'), harvest index (%), oil content in mustard and N. protein. K, P. S. B content in stover and seed. The highest grain yield (2180 kg lia') was obtained for the Combined effect of S2133 treatment (20 kg S had and 3 kg B ha') because of production of the highest number of capsule planr' (241.3 no) and seed per capsule (15.75 no). Results revealed that highest oil content (45.01%) in mustard was recorded for 53133 treatment (30 kg S had and 3 kg B ha5. which was statistically identical troni the result (43.80%) found for 52133 treatment (20 kg S had and 3 kg B had). Considering the Combined effects of Sulphur and Boron on selected parameters. the treatment S2133 (20 kg S ha and 3 kg 13 ha') could he suggested for "BARI sharisha-9" cultivation in agro-ecotogical zone of Tejgaon. IThaka.
