Abstract
A field experiment was carried out during the rabi season 2021- 2022 at Himalayan University, Itanagar, Arunchal Pradesh to assess the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the yield of Mustard var.M-27. Yield attributing characters like fresh weight of silique, dry weight, number of silique per plot, length of silique per plant, and seed yield of mustard were found maximum in the application of vermicompost (T2 ) with a dose of 100% vermicompost. From the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the application of vermicompost could be the best source of mustard as compared to other sources for enhancing the yield of mustard.
