Abstract

Based on the finding of the present study, it can be inferred that application of 100% NPK + FYM @ 2.5 t/ha was recorded significantly higher seed yield 22.2 q/ha, stover yield 136.5 q/ha, oil yield 9.11 q/ha, protein yield 4.42 q/ha and net returns ₹ 51 × 103/ha than that compared to control treatment. Maximum B: C ratio 1.92 was noticed under 100% NPK + B @ 1 kg B/ha which was statistically at par with 100 % NPK + S @ 40 kg/ha, 100 % NPK + FYM @ 2.5 t/ha, 100% NPK + Zn @ 25 kg ZnSO4/ha and 100 % but significantly higher than other treatments, respectively. Hence, the farmers could economically benefited by using 100% NPK + FYM @ 2.5 t/ha in mustard crop under tarai region of Uttarakhand or similar agro-ecoregions.
