Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to find out the influence of integrated nutrient management on zero tilled mustard crop at Instructional Farm, Jaguli, Nadia under Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur, West Bengal, India during the rabi season (2019-2020 and 2020-2021) in alluvial soil. Application of Suphala along with N and K2O was recorded to be best in terms of weed count (48 m-2 ) and weed control efficiency (62.5%) at harvest. Maximum seed yield of hybrid mustard, Keshari 5111 (858 kg ha-1) was recorded in application of Suphala + N @ 30 kg ha-1 at 30 DAS+ B @ 0.25%. The maximum oil percentage of 43.5% was noted with the application of Suphala + N @ 30 kg ha-1 at 30 DAS. The combined application of Suphala + N along with B enhanced the yield and quality attributes of hybrid mustard in the new alluvial soils of West Bengal, India.
