Abstract: In order to investigate the response of single or combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of mustard crop, field experiment was carried out during winter season (2017-18) at Research Block of S.G.R.R. (P.G) College. Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The layout of experimental field was laid in completely randomized block design with 8 treatments and 3 replications. The results indicated that among all the treatments, treatment T3 (75 % RDF + 2.5 t FYM per ha) was found best with respect to plant height (158.8 cm), number of primary branches per plant (5.2), number of secondary branches per plant (5.83), dry matter accumulation (20.63 g), seed weight per plant (6.03 g) and seed yield (20.09 q per ha) at harvest. Results also indicated that all growth parameters were non-significant viz.; plant height and primary branches per plant at 45 days after sowing (DAS) and secondary branches (75 DAS) during initial stage, except dry matter accumulation. Based on present investigation, it can be concluded that 75 % RDF + 2.5 t FYM per ha improved growth and yield of mustard crop under present agro-climatic conditions.
