Effect of foliage applied agrochemicals and balanced fertilization on growth yield and economics of Indian mustard (Brasscia juncea L.) production

Field study was conducted to assess the effects of agrochemicals and NPK fertilization on productivity of Indian mustard. Application of cycocel 100 ppm resulted in greatest crop dry matter accumulation. It also brought about maximum increase in seed yield (30.1%) over control as wen as highest net returns (Rs. 16790 ha⁻¹). Conective application of 60 kg N + 40 kg P₂O₅ + 20 kg K₂O ha⁻¹ brought about 49.9 per cent increase in mustard seed yield over unfertilized control.
