Abstract

Results of field experiment revealed that split application of sulphur (half basal + half top dressed) along with RDF significantly increased dry matter accumulation, growth parameters, photosynthetic rate, NR activity, seed yield and oil content in seed as compared to sulphur applied as single basal dose along with RDF. 40kg S/ha applied as half basal + half top dressed along with RDF proved beneficial than other lower and higher doses of sulphur tried for improving plant growth, enhancement of yield and quality of Indian mustard.
