INFLUENCE OF BIOFERTILIZER AND FARM YARD MANURE ON GROWTH, YIELD AND SEED QUALITY OF MUSTARD (BRASSICA JUNCEA L.) IN RAINFED CONDITION
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season, 2015-16 at the Karguan Agriculture Farm, Karguan Jhansi during the year 2015-16 to study Influence of biofertilizer and farm yard manure on growth, yield and seed quality of mustard (Brassica juncea l.) cultivar Kranti. Seven treatments consisting of 100 and 50 % of the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) (80kg N + 40 kg P2O5 + 40kg K2O ha-1) either alone or with successive addition of farmyard manure (FYM), and Azotobacter were tested. Application of 50 % recommended dose of fertilizers along with farmyard manure and Azotobacter (seed treatment) resulted in maximum plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of siliqua per plant, number of seed per siliqua, test weight and higher seed yield. The variations in growth and yield between 100 and 50 % recommended dose of fertilizers with farmyard manure, and Azotobacter were significant. Significantly higher germination percentage, root length, shoots length and seed vigour index was recorded at 50 % recommended dose of fertilizers with farmyard manure, and Azotobacter than over control.
