Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of sulphur by its different sources viz. Potassium sulphate (S1) and ammonium sulphate (S2) and levels of 12 (L1), 24 (L2) and 36 (L3) kg S/ha on yield, content and yield of oil and nutrients content and uptake by different mustard varieties viz., Patan mustard-67 (V1) and Varuna (V2) grown on sulphur deficient loamy sand soil of Anand. The grain, straw, husk and oil yields and oil content were significantly affected by varieties. The variety varuna, source ammonium sulphate and level of 36 kg S/ha were superior for increasing yields of mustard, similarly the nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur content and uptake were also significantly affected by these factors except phosphorus content and uptake of husk by varieties.
