Effect of STCR-IPNS Based Nutrient Application on Soil Health, Yield, Nutrient Content and Uptake of Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) in Eastern Plain Zone of Uttar Pradesh, India

Abstract

The improvement in grain yield characters was the manifestation of improved growth characters as a result of higher uptake of nutrients caused by balanced supply of nutrients in this regard soil test based nutrient management approaches aims provide a scientific basis for balanced fertilization to obtain more yield per unit of fertilizer investment. An experiment was conducted during kharif season 2017-18 in the Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry Research Farm, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The cursory glance of data revealed that the bulk density and particle density of soil was found to be non-significant in different levels of fertilizer recommendation based on soil test values. The maximum soil pore space (60.37%) and water retaining capacity (81.25 %) was recorded in treatment T4 [STCR + 5 t FYM]. The maximum available Nitrogen (305.82 kg ha-1), available Phosphorus (26.90 kg ha-1), available Potassium (205.07 kg ha-1) and available Sulphur (14.23 ppm ha-1) in soil was recorded in treatment T8 [STCR + @ 50 % FYM + @ 50 % S]. The maximum seed yield of mustard (11.53 q ha-1) and stover yield (16.03 q ha-1) was associated with the treatment T8 [STCR + @ 50 % FYM + @ 50 % S]. Result showed that that application of T8 [STCR + @ 50 % FYM + @ 50 % S] significantly recorded maximum nutrient content viz. N (2.19%), P (0.23%), K (1.68%) and S (4.8%) content in grain N (1.73%), P (0.21%), K (1.47%) and S (3.9%) content in stover and maximum nutrient uptake viz. N (25.25 kg ha-1), P (2.65 kg ha-1), K (19.37 kg ha-1) and S (55.34 kg ha-1) uptake in grain is and N (27.73 kg ha-1), P (3.36 kg ha-1), K (23.56 kg ha-1) and S (62.51 kg ha-1) uptake in stover.

Interaction Effect of Sulphur and Boron on Growth Characteristics, Yield Components and Productivity Parameters of Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) under Rainfed Condition of Chitrakoot Region

“…, 40 kg ha -1 and boron control, 1 spray 2 ppm and 2 spray 2 ppm on mustard seed yield was found statistically significant. The consequences of the current investigation are additionally in concurrence with the investigation of Singh et al [32], Sahoo et al [33] and Singh et al [34] and Sachan et al [35].…”

Soil Test Crop Response on Soil Health Parameters and Yield Attributes of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) var. Kuber

“…"Soil samples from each plot at 0-15 cm depth were collected at different stages were air-dried, grind and passed through 2 mm sieve and finally stored in polythene bags for analysis of different physicochemical parameters and changes in available N, P, K, and % Organic carbon content. The soil sample was analyzed for Bulk density, particle density, % pore space, soil texture, pH, Available N, P, K and Fe & Zn" [12].…”

“…"An appraisal of the data given in Table 3 clearly shows that available N, P, K, Fe & Zn in soil increased significantly with the increase in different levels of fertilizer recommendation based on soil test values" [12]. The maximum available N (271.13 Kg ha -1 ), available P (22.73 Kg ha -1 ), available K (210.30 Kg ha -1 ), available Fe (2.8mg kg -1 ) and available Zn (1.2 mg kg -1 ) in soil was recorded in treatment T9 [RDF 100% + FYM 25 t ha -1 + Fe & Zn 25 kg ha -1 ] and the minimum available N (233.15 Kg ha -1 ), available P (22.14 Kg ha -1 ), available K (189.7 Kg ha -1 ), available Fe (2.5 mg ha -1 ) and Zn (0.8 mg ha -1 ) in soil were recorded in treatment T0 [control].…”
