Influence of Bio-fertilizer and Organic Seed Treatment on Growth and Yield Attributing Traits of Mustard (Brassica nigra L.) Variety (Pusa -21)

Abstract

The Field experiment was conducted in a Randomized block Design (RBD) with three replications during Rabi, 2020-2021 at Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The genetically pure seeds of Mustard variety Pusa-21 were used for the study. The mustard seeds primed with botanicals and chemicals( Vermiwash, Panchagavya, Azatobactor, NaCl , KNO3, Neem leaf, Parthenium leaf and FYM) were subjected to study in field experiment of growth and yield parameters were recorded. Objectives of the topic are to evaluate the Influence of bio fertilizer and organic seed treatment on growth, yield and yield attributing traits of mustard crop and to find out the suitable pre-sowing seed treatment for mustard crop. Analysis of variance revealed significant mean sum of squares due to seed priming treatments. The highest germination percent (88.89),plant height (132.53 cm), number of branches(12.60 per plant), yield attributing parameters in mustard as number of silique per plant (292.87), number of seeds per silique (18.73), seed yield per plant (17.73 gm/plant), seed yield per plot (214.33 gm/ plot), biological yield per plot (443.15/ plot), seed yield per hectare (2143.33 kg/ ha), biological yield per hectare (5140 kg/ ha) and harvest index (41.69) showing better result when treated with treatment vermiwash 5 % for 12 hours. Remaining treatments i.e, treatment with panchgavya 5 % & 3 %, azotobactor 3 % & 2 %, NaCl 0.5 % & 0.1 %, KNO3 0.5 % & 0.1 %, neem leaf extract, parthenium leaf extract for and fym 2 % for 12 hours recorded the second most effective treatments and observed significantly superior. It concluded that T8 (vermiwash 5% solution) found superior in all the growth and yield parameters.

Response of Different Pre-Sowing Seed Treatments with Biofertilizers, Biostimulants and Botanicals on Growth, Yield and Yield Attributing Traits in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) var. Desi Himmat

“…significantly recorded the maximum of 14.70g of chickpea seeds per plant and minimum yield of 7.08 g was recorded by the untreated control (T0) respectively. Organic priming enhances the growth and yield of the pulses; which are highly sensitive to the salinity and alkalinity factors through timely supply of nutrients and proper hormonal balance [13].…”

Influence of Presowing Seed Treatments with Organic Manures and Botanicals on Plant Growth, Yield and Yield Attributing Traits of Yellow Mustard (Sinapis alba L.) Variety (ISP-186)

“…It needs well drained sandy loam soil and has a low water requirement of (240-400 mm) which fits well in the rain-fed cropping system. Mustard contributes about 10% of the world oilseeds production, 5-7% of the global production of vegetable oil, and nearly 7% of protein meal Among the seven edible oilseeds cultivated in India, rapeseed-mustard contributes 28.6% in the total oil seeds products and rank second after groundout sharing 27.8% in the India's oilseed economy [14][15][16][17][18]. These crops also serve as raw material for various industrial products.…”

Pre- Sowing Seed Treatment with Panchagavya, Beejamruth and Leaf Extract of Moringa and Neem on Growth, Yield and Yield Attributing Traits of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) cv-Bali265

“…Cowpea (Vigna sinensis L.) is believed to have originated in Africa, Cowpea belongs to family leguminaceae. Recently, it is the important pulse crop cultivated throughout India [2][3][4]. In India, cowpea is consumed in several ways in southern India as whole grain.…”
