Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the research field of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University farm, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from
November 2015 to February 2016 to determine the effect of nitrogen and
sulphur levels with different population densities on growth and yield of
mustard (SAU Sharisha-3). The experiment consists of two factors. Factor A:
nitrogen + sulphur (5 levels) i.e. F

= Control, F
= (70 kg nitrogen + 15 kg
sulphur) ha

= (90 kg nitrogen + 20 kg sulphur) ha

was found in all parameters at different growth stages of mustard (SAU
Sarisha-3). Data showed that F
