Not AvailableEFFECT OF N APPLICATION ( 020, 40, 80 ,120 AND 160 kg/ha) ON THE UPTAKE OF PRIMARY NUTRIENTS BY MUSTARD GROWN UNDER RAINFED (R) AND MINIMAL IRRIGATION (MI) CONDICTIONS ON SANDY LOAM SOIL ( RECLAIMED RAVINES) WAS STUDIED. THE N,P AND K CONTENT IN PLANTS , STALK AND GRAIN WERE REDUCED WITH THE APPLICATION OF FIRST INCREMENT OF N ( 20 kg/ha) AND THEREAFTER IT INCREASED WITH THE APPLICATION OF SUCCESSIVE LEVELS OF N. ABSORPTION PATTERN OF NUTRIENTS ( PERIODIC CONTENTS OF N AND P IN PLANTS) INDICATED THAT MAJOR UPTAKE OF N AND P OCCURRED UPTO FLOWERING STAGE ( 60 DAYS) WHILE POTASH CONTENT IN PLANTS PROGRESSED TILL MATURITY . APPLICATION OF NITROGEN AT 80 kg N/HA RESULTED IN MAXIMUM TOTAL UPTAKE OF N ( 48.3 AND 60.6 kg/ha UNDER R AND MI) , P ( 9.38 AND 10.38 kg/ha UNDER R AND MI) AND K ( 63 AND 69.5 kg/ha UNDER R AND MI)Not Availabl
