A field experiment was conducted during the winter ( rabi) seasons of 200910 and 201011 to study the effect of farmyard manure (FYM) and nutrients on growth, yield, quality and nutrient uptake of Indian mustard [ Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj. & Cosson]. Treatments consisted of 3 levels each of FYM (0, 10 and 20 t FYM/ha) and nutrients (0, 40 kg N + 20 Kg P O and 80 kg N + 40 Kg P O /ha) were evaluated thrice in a factorial randomized block de- 2 5 2 5 sign. The plant height, dry matter accumulation, primary and secondary branches/plant, chlorophyll content in fresh leaves, siliquae/plant, seeds/siliqua, 1,000-seed weight and seed and stover yields were significantly higher under incorporation of 20 t FYM/ha over 10 t FYM/ha. Plant height, dry matter accumulation, chlorophyll content, siliquae/plant, seeds/siliqua, 1,000-seed weight, seed and stover yield, nutrient uptake, oil content and oil yield in- creased significantly up to 80 kg N + 40 Kg P O /ha. 2 5References
