Abstract :
A field experiment was conducted during 2014-15 with mustard (Brassica spp. L.) as a test crop under irrigated conditions on sandy clay loam soils with 4 levels of sulphur (0, 15, 30 and 45 kg ha-1) and 3 levels of zinc (0, 2.5 and 5.0 kg ha-1) in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. Seed and stover yield increased significantly upto 30 kg S ha-1 and 5.0 kg Zn ha-1 application. Maximum seed yield (2011.7 kg ha-1) observed with S3 x Zn2 which was significantly higher over rest all the treatment combinations except S3 x Zn2 and S2 x Zn2 treatments. The maximum net return (Rs. 46475 and 45537) was obtained from S3 (45 kg S ha-1) x Zn2 (5.0 kg Zn ha-1) treatments and it was higher than all other treatments. Whereas, maximum B:C ratio (3.71) was obtained from S2 (30 kg S ha-1) x Zn2 (5.0 kg Zn ha-1).
