A field trial was carried out during 2024-25 at the AICRP on Mustard, College of Agriculture, Nagpur, to evaluate the "Effect of nitrogen and sulphur levels on yield, nutrient content and uptake of mustard." The experiment tested three nitrogen levels (50, 65, and 80 kg ha⁻¹) and three sulphur levels (15, 30, and 45 kg ha⁻¹) on mustard grown in a medium black, clayey soil with moderately alkaline pH. The highest seed yield (18.25 q ha⁻¹) and stover yield (53.47 q ha⁻¹) were achieved with 80 kg ha⁻¹ nitrogen, while 45 kg ha⁻¹ sulphur produced significantly higher seed (18.02 q ha⁻¹) and stover yields (52.78 q ha⁻¹) compared to lower levels. Nutrient concentrations of N, P, K, and S improved in both seed (4.07, 0.67, 0.79, and 0.62%) and stover (0.75, 0.36, 0.60, and 0.26%). Similarly, nutrient uptake increased in seed (75.06, 12.48, 14.66, and 11.15 kg ha⁻¹) and stover (40.09, 19.54, 32.76, and 13.07 kg ha⁻¹). Overall, the study concluded that applying 80 kg ha⁻¹ nitrogen along with 45 kg ha⁻¹ sulphur significantly enhanced mustard yield, nutrient content, and nutrient uptake, indicating these levels as the most effective combination.
