Boost Mustard Yield: Sitamarhi KVK Advises Scientific Farming for Higher Profits

• Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Sitamarhi, recommends scientific mustard cultivation for increased production and lower costs.
• Soil testing is crucial before sowing to identify nutrient deficiencies and apply appropriate fertilizers.
• Sulfur is vital for mustard, enhancing yield, oil content, and quality; bio-fertilizers like PSB and Azotobacter can boost yield by 20%.
• Use 2 kg seeds per acre, treat seeds with Carbendazim, and spray Pendimethalin 30 EC for weed control.
• Two irrigations are essential (before flowering and pod formation); apply urea, Humic Acid, and specific fertilizers for optimal growth and pest control.

Why It Matters: Adopting scientific methods, soil testing, and balanced nutrition can significantly increase mustard yield and farmer income.
