The rapeseed mustard crop growing areas are also experiencing this circumstance, which is causing fertility to fall and, as a result, poor productivity. In order to provide nutrients in adequate quantities to mustard crops, it is necessary to optimize the nutrient dose based on crop and soil requirements. Macro and micronutrients are both influenced by varying levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as sulphur, zinc, and boron. The usage of high analysis NPK fertilizers and limited nutrient cycling has resulted in increased sulphur and zinc shortage in recent years. The integrative effect of organic, inorganic, and bio-fertilizers is critical for sustained crop production. Biofertilizers and organic manures are important in maintaining soil health. Nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium as major nutrients and Sulphur, boron among the secondary nutrients play an important role in influencing the yield and quality of mustard. Moreover, balanced fertilization is an important aspect of crop production technology.

Highlights

• The effect of nutrient combinations on mustard growth, yield attributes, and yield would provide valuable insights for researchers, agronomists, and farmers seeking to enhance the productivity and sustainability of mustard cultivation.
• Identification of the optimal ratios of essential nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, micronutrients, etc.) required for maximizing the growth, yield, and quality of mustard plants.
