The present study was carried out during 2019-20 to assess the effect of organic sources of nutrients on productivity and
profitability of Indian mustard. Seven treatments, viz. Jivamrat @ 500 litre/ha, Azotobactor, FYM @ 5 t/ha, Jivamrat +
Azotobactor, Jivamrat + FYM @ 5 t/ha, Jivamrat + Azotobactor + FYM @ 5 t/ha and control were accommodated in a
randomized block design with three replications. Result revealed that yield attributes like number of siliquae/plant,
number of seeds/siliqua, weight of seeds/plant, and test weight, were recorded maximum with Jivamrat + FYM +
Azotobactor. Further, seed yield, stover yield, biological yield and harvest index were also recorded the highest with
Jivamrat + FYM + Azotobactor. The treatment Jivamrat + FYM + Azotobactor had investment of Rs. 32925/ha to grow
mustard crop and also fetched higher net returns of Rs. 54925/ha with maximum B:C ratio (2.67). Therefore, it can be
concluded that combine application of Jivamrat @ 500 litre/ha and FYM @ 5 t/ha with Azotobactor was found to be
more productive and profitable in semi-arid regions of Rajasthan.
