Abstract

Rapeseed (Brassica rapa L.) is one of the important annual oilseed crops grown worldwide for edible oil, animal fodder, vegetables, condiments and biodiesel. An experiment was conducted to study the effect of sulphur and organic manure on the growth, phenology and yield of Rapeseed at the Research Farm of Sant Baba Bhag Singh University, Jalandhar, India. The experiment consisted of three levels of sulphur (20, 40 and 60 kg/ha) and two levels of FYM (5 and 10 t/ha). The randomized block design was used with seven treatments and three replications. The higher number of seeds per siliqua, length of siliqua and seed yield were recorded in T5 treatment (Sulphur 40 kg/ha and FYM 10 t/ha) as compared to the control. Test seed weight was higher in T6 treatment (Sulphur 60 kg/ha and FYM 10 t/ha) as compared to the control. Overall, the results suggested that the improvement in growth, yield attributes and seed yield of rapeseed crop were observed in treatment T5. However, the application of sulphur 60 kg/ ha also showed improvement in the test weight of the rapeseed crop. The growth and yield attributes of rapeseed obtained from the treated plots were superior as compared to plots under control.
