A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2021 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P), India. This study aims to determine the effect of phosphorus and boron levels on growth and yield of mustard (Brassica juncea L.). The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.2). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design consisting of nine treatments with three replications. The treatments comprising of different levels of phosphorus and boron whose effect was observed in mustard. The results obtained that the application of Phosphorus @ 60 kg/ha along with Boron @ 2.0 kg/ha was recorded significantly higher Plant height (187.59 cm), Plant dry weight (37.92 g/plant), Number of Siliquae/plant (319.80), Number of Seeds/siliquae (14.60), Test weight (5.19 g), Seed yield (2.61 t/ha) and Stover yield (4.55 t/ha). Therefore, treatment with the application of Phosphorus @ 60 kg/ha along with Boron @ 2.0 kg/ha was more productive and cost effective.

Aim: To study the retaliation performances of Sulphur and zinc on growth, yield and yield attributes of cowpea (Vigna unguiculate L.) Place and Duration of Study A field experiment was carried out during kharif season of 2021 at Crop Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj Uttar Pradesh, India.    Methodology: The Experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with Ten treatments which were replicated thrice. with treatment combination of (T1 to T10) T1 20 kg/ha S + 10 kg/ha Zn, T2. 20 kg/ha S + 15 kg/ha Zn, T3. 20 kg/ha S + 20 kg/ ha Zn, T4. 30 kg/ha S + 10 kg/ha Zn, T5. 30 kg/ha S + 15 kg/ha Zn, T6. 30 kg/ha S + 20 kg/ha Zn, T7. 45 kg/ha S + 10 kg/ha Zn, T8. 45 kg/ha S + 15 kg/ha Zn, T9. 45 kg/ha S + 20 kg/ha Zn, T10 Control were used. Result: Among various sulphur and zinc combinations T9 treatment recorded maximum Plant height (75.64 cm), plant dry weight (67.90g/plant), number of branches per plant (9.66), harvest index (47.93 %), gain yield (13.67 q/ha), straw yield (15.26 q/ha). Conclusion: It was determined that the application of Sulphur – 45 kg/ha + Zinc – 20 kg/ha resulted in a higher grain yield (13.67 q/ha), which was significantly superior to the other treatments.

A field experiment was carried out during Kharif, 2020 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P) on sandy loam soil to assess the effect of biofertilizers and phosphorus on growth parameters and yield of Cowpea. The design of field experiment was Randomized block design consisting of ten treatments each replicated thrice. Experimental results showed significant increase in growth parameter viz., Plant height (81.09 cm), number of branches (4.87), number of nodules (53.27), plant dry weight (30.43 g/plant), crop growth rate (12.59 g/m2/plant) and yield attributing parameters viz., pods/plant (14.73), seeds/ pod (8.85), 100-seed weight (8.02 g), seed yield (2.62 t/ha) and biological yield (9.07 t/ha) were recorded with dual inoculation of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria and Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza along with 55 kg phosphorus per hectare.
