Abstract: The present study was carried out to examine the effect of two sulphur oxidizing bacteria; SSA21 and SSS6 on the growth of mustard. A total of 15 treatments comprising three controls and six treatments for each bacterium were formulated. Different growth parameters like plant length, dry weight, chlorophyll content in leaves, seed oil and protein content, number of siliquae, seeds per siliqua and 100 seed weight were observed. The total plant length of mustard varied from 96.0 to 156.2 and from 97.1 to 146.8 cm during the year 2016-17 and 2017-18 respectively at maturity. The total plant weight was found in between 8.227 g/pot to 18.853 during both years. Similarly, number of siliquae (20.0-54.6), seeds per siliquae (8.0-13.3) and 100 seed weight (0.660-1.333 g), oil (28.4-33.3%), protein (18.64-24.56%), chlorophyll content (1.287-3.644mg/gFW) was recorded. A positive improvement in mustard crop growth with respect to different parameters was recorded due to inoculation of SOB.
