Abstract: Field experiment entitled “Effect of different levels of nitrogen and sulphur on growth and of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss.] in salt affected soil” was carried out at Student instructional farm of N.D. University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad. The experiment comprised of four nitrogen levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg ha^-1) and four sulphur levels (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg ha^-1) tested in Randomized Block Design and replication three times. The growth characters such as plant height, number of primary and secondary branches plant^-1, number of leaves plant^-1 and dry matter accumulation plant^-1 were maximum at 120 kg N ha^-1 and 60 kg S ha^-1. The maximum seed yield (19.20 and 18.39 q ha^-1) and stover yield (59.49and 57.21 q ha^-1) was recorded at 120 kg N, which was at par with 80 kg N ha^-1. In case of sulphur application the maximum seed yield (18.89 and 18.08 q ha^-1) and stover yield (58.38 and 55.16kg ha^-1) was recorded at 60kg S ha^-1, which was at par with 40 kg S ha^-1
