Productivity and Profitability of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) Influenced by Drip Irrigation and Micronutrient Application Methods

A field experiment was conducted in split plot design with drip irrigation levels (0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 IW/CPE ratios) in main plot and micronutrient application methods (control, soil, foliar and fertigation) in sub plot during Rabi season at S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan) during 2018. The scheduling of drip irrigation at 0.8 IW/CPE ratio recorded significantly higher plant height, dry matter accumulation, siliquae per plant, seeds per siliqua, test weight and seed yield over 0.4 IW/CPE ratios, which was statistically at par with 0.6 IW/CPE ratio. Drip irrigation at 0.8 IW/CPE ratio recorded higher monetary value. Among micronutrient application methods, fertigation significantly increased plant height at 80 DAS and at harvest, dry matter accumulation at all growth stages, siliquae per plant and seeds per siliqua, seed yield over all other application method. Higher net return and B: C ratio also under fertigation.
