Abstract:
An experiment of three different varieties of mustard was conducted at the field of Krishi Vigyan Kendra Gudamalani Barmer-II farm during the Rabi season 2020-2021 to identify the suitable short duration variety high yielding suitable saline-alkaline soil and saline-alkaline water for western arid zone IA of Rajasthan. Results indicated that growth, as well as yield and yield attributes of different mustard verities, were significantly different. The varieties DRMRIJ- 31 and CS-60 were best suitable to arid saline-alkaline soil and saline water and they produced the highest seed yield and their growth parameters were also highly significant and a positive correlation was observed in seed yield/plant with siliquae per plant, length of silique, seed/silique, 1000 seed weight, and harvest index. So, DRMRIJ-31 and CS-60 are suitable for cultivation in the Barmer Districts of Rajasthan.
