Popis: Field experiments were conducted at the farm of Krishi Vigyan Kendra Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh during rabi season of 2014–15 and 2015–16 in randomize block design with mustard variety NDR-8501 with six treatments. The treatments consisted of commercial grade of sulphur fertilizer viz. sulphur 90% DP @ 25kg/ha at sowing time as basal (S1), Sulphur 80% WP @ 5kg/ha at 45 DAS with urea topdressing/broadcasting (S2), Sulphur 80% WP 1.50kg/ha as foliar sprayed at 75 DAS (S3), sulphur 90% DP @ 25 kg/ha + sulphur 80% WP @ 5 kg/ha applied with urea broadcasting at 45DAS (S4), sulphur basal 90% DP + sulphur 80% WP @ 1.25 kg/ha foliar sprayed at 75 DAS (S5), no use of sulpher (Farmer practice) as (S6). The application of sulphur had significant influence on yield attributes, grain yield, sulphur uptake and oil percent in mustard. The maximum average value of plant height (158.75cm), seed per siliqua 13.45, test weight (4.863 gm), grain yield (21.86 q/ha) and oil content (33.73%) were recorded with dual application basal along with 80% WP @ 1.25kg/ha foliar sprayed at 75%DAS closely followed by application of sulfur basal + 80%WP @ 5kg/ha applied with urea broadcasting at 45DAS and minimum value was recorded under treatment (S6) farmer practices. Therefore, application of sulfur 90% WP @ 25kg/ha +sulfur 80WP @1.25kg/ha foliar sprayed at 75% DAS were recommended for improving yield, yield attributes, oil percent and sulphur uptake of Indian mustard.
