Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2022 at Shri Guru Ram Rai University's Agricultural Research Farm, Dehradun, to assess the impact of NPK and sulfur on the yield, nutrient uptake, and quality of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.). NPK and sulfur, applied at 25-100% in a Randomized Block Design, significantly enhanced productivity. The combination of 100% NPK and 100% sulfur yielded the highest test weight (4.35 g), seed yield (19.35 q/ha), and nutrient uptake (N: 87.24 kg/ha, P: 25.47 kg/ha, K: 111.73 kg/ha, S: 38.15 kg/ha). This synergy improved soil fertility and promoted sustainable mustard cultivation in Uttarakhand.
