Lovedeep Singh and Balwinder Singh Dhillon College of Agriculture Guru Kashi University Talwandi Sabo Punjab India Corresponding author ABSTRACT The field experiment entitled Effect of fly ash and phosphorus levels on growth and seed yield of raya Brassica juncea L. in south-west Punjab was conducted during the rabi Keywords season 2018-2019 at Experimental Farm Guru Kashi University Talwandi Sabo Bathinda Punjab . The experiment was laid out in split plot design comprising of two levels of fly Fly ash ash 0 and 10 t ha in main plot and four phosphorus levels 0 15 30 and 45 kg P 2O5 ha Phosphorus Raya in sub plot. The results showed that application of 10 t ha fly ash gave significantly Seed yield Siliquae maximum seed yield 2362 kg ha and increase was over control. The application of and Stover yield phosphorus increased the seed yield of raya and the maximum seed yield 2489 kg ha was recorded with 45kg P2O5 ha application. These increase in seed yield was and Article Info over control 15 and 30kgP 2O5 ha respectively. Similar trend was observed in case of stover yield. Application of fly ash resulted in significant increasing growth parameters . Accepted number of branches per plant leaf area index and dry matter accumulation 04 September 2020 q ha of raya. Similarly yield attributes . number of siliquae per plant Available Online number of seeds per siliqua and test weight gm was higher with fly ash 10 October 2020 application than control. Application of phosphorus at the rate of 45kg P 2O5 ha significantly increased the plant height cm and dry matter .
