Abstract

This review explores the impact of various nutrient management practices on mustard (Brassica spp.) cultivation, emphasizing the synergistic benefits of integrating organic and inorganic fertilizers. Mustard is a crucial oilseed crop, and optimizing nutrient supply is essential for maximizing its productivity and quality. Numerous studies have demonstrated that integrated nutrient management (INM), which combines organic sources like farmyard manure (FYM), compost, or green manure with inorganic fertilizers such as urea, diammonium phosphate (DAP), and potash, results in improved crop performance compared to the sole application of either source. The integration of organic and inorganic fertilizers positively influences key growth and yield parameters, including plant height, number of primary and secondary branches, number of siliquae per plant, seeds per siliqua, seed yield, and oil content. Organic amendments improve soil structure, enhance microbial activity, and increase nutrient retention and availability, while inorganic fertilizers provide a rapid and targeted nutrient supply. This combination ensures a balanced and sustained nutrient release throughout the crop growth cycle. Specifically, treatments incorporating farmyard manure with recommended doses of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium have shown significant improvements in plant vigor and yield attributes. FYM contributes to the gradual release of macro- and micronutrients and enhances soil health, which is crucial for long-term productivity. Moreover, the oil content in mustard seeds tends to increase under integrated nutrient regimes, making this approach highly beneficial not only for yield enhancement but also for improving the quality of the produce. Overall, integrated nutrient management offers a sustainable pathway to boost mustard cultivation.
