Response of Sulphur and Spacing on Growth and Yield of Toria (Brassica campestris L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2022 at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology And Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) India. To study the Response of Sulphur and Spacing on growth and yield of Toria. The treatments consist of Sulphur 15, 30, 45 kg/ha and Spacing 20×15, 20×20, 25×20 cm. There were 10 treatments each replicated thrice. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loamy in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction pH (7.2) with EC-0.187 (dS/m), low in organic carbon (0.72%) available N (178.48 kg/ha), available P (27.80 kg/ha) and available K (233.24 kg/ha). Results revealed that the higher plant height (105.93 cm), higher plant dry weight (17.70 g), higher crop growth rate (13.8 g/m2/day), higher number of siliquae/plant (216.19), higher seeds/ siliquae (23.67), higher test weight (3.64 g), higher seed yield (1.76 kg/ha), higher stover yield (3.21 kg/ha) and higher harvest index (35.39%) were significantly influenced with application of Sulphur 45 kg/ha + Spacing 25×20 cm.
