Management Practices And Effect Of Nutrient Management On Growth And Yield Parameters Of Brassica Rapa L.

Abstract

This study looks at how Brassica rapa L. growth and yield metrics are affected by nutrient management techniques. The study was carried out at Sharda University's experimental field during the month of Rabi of 2022-2023, using a split-plot approach with 11 treatments and three rounds of replication. Plant height, primary and secondary branches, dry matter accumulation, and yield components such as siliquae, seeds per siliqua, and seed weight were all analyzed. Nutrient management was shown to greatly enhance plant growth and output. The treatments that comprised 100% NPK with farmyard manure (FYM), gypsum, and Trichoderma viride demonstrated the greatest measurements of growth and yield. When compared to the control and other nutrient combinations, these treatments increased vegetative growth, the number of siliquae, seeds per siliqua, and total seed output. This study highlights the significance of effective nutrient management in optimizing the development and yield of Brassica rapa, giving useful insights for boosting rapeseed and mustard production under comparable agro-climatic settings.
