Abstract

Four rates of organic fertilizer 0 15 30 45 t/ha were evaluated on three leaf mustard cultivars organically grown under shelter. For the first cultivar V1 a quadratic relationship represented by the equation Y -0.0088x 0.6887x 1.241 was obtained where Y yield in t/ha and x organic fertilizer in t/ha. The optimum rate of organic fertilizer processed poultry manure was 39.1 t/ha. Yield obtained at this rate was 14.7 t/ha. With cultivar 2 a linear relationship represented by the equation Y 0.1589x 1.334x where Y yield t/ha and x fertilizer applied t/ha was obtained. And for cultivar 3 a quadratic relationship represented by the equation Y - 0.0112x 0.7517x 0.971 where Y yield t/ha and x fertilizer applied t/ha was obtained. The optimum rate of organic fertilizer was 33.6 t/ha. The yield at this rate was 13.6 t/ha. A second crop grown on plots with residual fertilizers only gave yields ranging from 60 to 76 of yields from plots with fertilizer added.
