Effect of biotic and abiotic inducers on oil content of mustard seeds

Efficacy of biotic and abiotic inducers (Plant activators) on oil content in susceptible mustard cultivar Kranti to white rust and Altemaria Blight of rapeseed-mustard was tested under field conditions during two consecutive cropping season.Among the biotic and abiotic inducers tested recorded significant increase in oil content (Per cent) was recorded in T₂Pseudomonas fluorescens (by 7.82%), T₆ Calcium sulphate (by 7.54%), T₅ Mancozeb (by 7.54%). T₅ Potassium sulphate (by 7.52%), T₄ Salicylic acid (by 6.35%), T₃ Borax (by 6.33%), T₁Trichodenna harzianum (by 6.24%),and T₇ Talcum powder (by 6.12%) in comparison to check (37.25%).
