 ABSTRACT

The experiment was conducted with 6 genotypes of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) viz RH-0116, RH-725, RH-923, RH-1019, RH-1077, RH-1301 for three dates of sowing i.e 23 September, 16 October & 21 November in the field in randomized block design during rabi season of 2015-16 at Oil Seed Section, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to observe the effect of sowing dates on yield and yield attributes of Indian mustard genotypes. The values of yield and all yield attributes were highest on 16 October sowing while 21 November sowing dates showed lowest values of yield and yield attributing traits. Results showed that among sowing dates, 16 October sowing was the best for Indian mustard and genotypes RH-0116 performed better in terms of yield and yield attributes.

Key words: Mustard, Rai, Protein, Yield, Genotypes
