Seed and straw yield of gobhi sarson (Brassica napus L., ISN-706) increased significantly due to N application in a greenhouse experiment on sandy loam soil (Typic Ustochrept). Application of S also enhanced the seed and straw yield. However, the effect was limited to the application of 50 kg S ha−1 in case of seed and 75 kg S ha−1 in case of straw yield. Combined application of 120 kg N ha−1 along with 50 kg S ha−1 gave the maximum seed yield (5.60 g/pot). Nitrogen and sulphur application also increased the uptake of nitrogen and sulphur and oil yield significantly.
