Abstract
The trial carried for the two repeated years, start from rabi seasons of the years 2021-22 at research farm, department of soil science and agricultural chemistry, [NAI], SHUATS, Prayagraj. The excavated soil sample from experimental site before conducting research operation, mentioned that, the land topography range was nearly levelled with 1-3% slope, among nine treatments, during field experimentation, the conjunctive use of NPK and different organic manures (FYM, vermicompost and jeevamrutha) levels, together come with best results significantly. However, the growth factors including pre-harvest parameters i.e. height of plant 122.2 cm, and number of siliquae plant-1 78.5 opined significantly highest in treatment T6 registering [NPK @ 100 % + VC @ 100 % + @ R @ 100 % + Zn @ 100 %], which in turn influenced in achieving highest mean of number of seed siliquae-1 5.61, oil content 36.96 % and weight of 100 grains 3.5 g, which eventually gave the highest increasing mean of grain yield 1.65 t ha-1, straw yield 3.18 t ha-1, biological yield 4.83 t ha-1, harvest index 34.18 %, net returns of 88,133.00 and 88,638.00.50 Rs ha-1, wider C:B ratio 1:1.46 and 1:1.47 as compared to rest of treatments.
