A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2019-20 at Main Oilseeds Research Station, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh, India to study the effect of foliar application of water-soluble fertilizer on growth, yield and quality of mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern and Coss). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and comprised of 10 treatments. Different concentrations of water-soluble fertilizers in different combinations along with the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) were applied through foliar nutrition to the crop. Among the treatments, application of water soluble fertilizer i.e. 75 % RDF(37.5:37.5:15 kg N:P2O5:S/ha)+ foliar spray of 19:19:19 @ 2% at 30, 45 and 60 DAS was recorded significantly higher values of growth parameters viz., plant height and number of branches/plant and yield attributes viz., number of siliquae/plant, number of seeds/siliquae, length of siliqua and yield viz., seed yield (2616 kg/ha) and stover yield (5228 kg/ha); quality parameters viz., oil content, oil yield and protein content. However, it remained at par with 75 % RDF (37.5:37.5:15 kg N:P2O5:S/ha) + foliar spray of 19:19:19 @ 2% at 30 and 45 DAS and 75 % RDF (37.5:37.5:15 kg N:P2O5:S/ha) + foliar spray of 19:19:19 @ 1% at 30, 45 and 60 DAS. The control (no fertilizer) were recorded significantly lowest plant height, siliqua per plant, seed per siliqua, test weight, seed yield, stover yield.
