Abstract

field experiment was conducted in autumn and winter seasons (2008-2007)at the Demonstration farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Omdurman Islamic University to study the effect of seasonal variation, Ammonium Sulfate fertilization and spacing between plant on growth and yield of black mustard (Brassica nigra L). The treatments used were four levels of ammonium sulfate fertilizerwhich were (0, 100, 150 and 200kg/fed) and three sowing spacingwere (20,30 and40cm). The design wasrandomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replicationsin both seasons (autumn and winter). The parameters measured during vegetative growth and yield wereinclude (plant height, stem diameter, number of leafs,number ofnodes, number of branches,number of pod, seeds weight\ plant and yield kg/fed. The results showed no significant difference between treatments on plant height in two seasons but there were significant effect for fertilizer on stem diameter in autumn. The results revealed significant different for fertilizer and sowing spacing on leaf number, nodes number and number of branches in autumn. The results revealed that there were significant effects for fertilizer on numberof pods and seeds weight per plant.In addition the results alsoreported that there were highly significant effect for fertilizer in two seasons on yield kg/fed and highly significant in sowing spacing in autumnon yield kg\fed.
