 ABSTRACT

An experiment was conducted Rabi season of 2013-14. It was observed that the best yield attributes characters was in treatment T8-(@NPK100 +@ Zinc Sulphate100) in respect to different days intervals i.e. 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing (DAS). Number of leaves per plant were 14.06, 19.10 and 20.10 and no. of branches per plant were 6.30, 11.40 and 12.20 found to be significant at 30DAS, 60DAS and 90 DAS but, Plant height was 29.10 cm, 99.53 cm and 107.16 cm found significant at 30 DAS and 60 DAS and interaction effect of NPK and Zinc Sulphate found non-significant at 90 DAS. In the same yield (q ha-1) was 24.82 found to be significant. In the same treatment T8, Interaction between the Zinc Sulphate and N P K on an average test weight, fresh weight, dry weight and oil content (%) as 4.10 g, 81.06 g, 70.76 g and 45.44 % respectively showed a non-significant effect. Effect of NPK and Zinc Sulphate on fresh weight, dry weight and oil content (%) was significant and effect of NPK on test weight was significant and effect of Zinc Sulphate found non-significant. Adequate plant nutrient supply holds the key for improving the food seed production food security.
