Abstract
The Impact of microbial bio-formulation on mustard crop productivity
during Rabi, 2020-21 to 2022-23 under demonstration in saline-sodic
soils of Sultanpur was assessed. A total of 275 clients on Integrated Crop
Management (ICM) in mustard with salt tolerant variety CS 58 and the use of
bio-formulation (PSB) were undertaken in 50.0 ha area at 45 villages of
Motigarpur, Jaisinghpur and Kadipur Blocks of district. Salt tolerant variety
CS-58 is recommended for saline soil up to soil salinity level (EC) 12.0 dSm-1
and in alkali soils up to pH 9.5. as it is highly suitable for saline and sodic
soil conditions. Based on three years data, It may be concluded that the
improved practice (IP) had an average seed yield of 21.18q. ha-1,
which enhance yield up to 20.37% from the farmer's practice about 17.64 q. ha-1.
The average extension gap, technology gap and technology index were 253.33 kg
ha-1, 382.33 kg ha-1, and 15.72%, respectively. The
economic analysis of demonstrations revealed the viability of enhanced
technology, with a net return of 88575.67 Rs. ha-1 and benefit-cost
ratio (BCR) of 5.82, compared to 72327.33 Rs. ha-1 and 5.37 (BCR)
farmers practice. The cultivation of salt tolerant variety of mustard are
practiced in salt affected areas of U.P.
