| dc.description.abstract | Six levels of nitrogen (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 kg/ha) and five methods of N application (entire quantity as basal, 50% as basal + 50% as top dressing, 50% as basal + 50% foliar, 70% as basal + 25% as foliar and entire quantity as foliar) were tested on rapcsced cultivar (Kalyania). Nitrogen above 60 kg/ha gave significantly higher plant height, number of primary branches and pods per plant, seed and oil yields and stover yield; while 1000 seed weight remained unaffected and oil content decreased with the increase of nitrogen levels. Nitrogen applied at 50 to 75% as basal and rest amount as foliar were found to be the best methods of N application in all respect except oil content in seed. All the yield attributes were significantly influenced by the interaction of all levels and methods of N application. Nitrogen levels (90-120) kg/ha) when applied 75% as basal and rest amount as foliar at 22 DAS resulted significantly higher seed and oil yiclds/ha. | en_US |
