A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabl) season of 1994-95 and 1995-96 on loamy sand soil to study the response in 8 improved strains of Brassicas to.sulphur levels (0,15, 30 and 45 kg/ha). Among Brassicas strains 'Bio 902', 'AH 8814', 'AH 30', 'AH 781', 'T 59' and 'AH 8812' of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj. & Cosson]; strain 'HC 2 of Ethiopian mustard (B. carinata L.); and strain 'T 27' of taramira (Eruca vesica ria L. ssp. sativa Mill.) recorded the mean seed yield of 18.6, 17.5, 16.3 14.9, 14.8 and 14.7; 15.6; and 7.5 q/ha respectively. Application of sulphur in Brassicas up to 45 kg/ha significantly increased the oil content, seed yield and its attributes, viz. siliquae/ plant, seeds/siliqua except test weight, compared to its lower levels. The increase in seed yield and oil content due to 45 kg S/ha was recorded 23.8 and 5.6 respectively over nOSulpt1ur applIcation. Higher sulphur levels also increased the benefit: cost ratio.
