Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agriculture Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) in Rabi 2020-2021 to determine the effect of different dates of Sowing and Spacing on growth and yield of yellow mustard. The treatments which are T1: Control, T2: 15th November + 30 ×15 cm, T3: 15th November + 45 ×15 cm, T4: 15th November + 60 ×15 cm, T5: 25th November + 30 ×15 cm, T6: 25th November + 45 × 15 cm, T7: 25th November + 60 ×15 cm, T8: 5th December + 30 ×15 cm, T9: 5th December + 45 ×15 cm, T10 5th December + 60 ×15 cm used. The results showed that plants sown on different dates with various Spacings showed significant variation for growth parameters. Among all the treatments, plants sown on 15th November with 60 cm row spacing recorded maximum plant height (133.93 cm), dry weight (19.76 g), Leaves/plant (29.47), crop growth rate (4.74 g/m2 /day), relative growth rate (0.02 g/g/day). Among all the treatments, plants sown on 15th November with 60 cm row spacing recorded siliquae/plant (137.80), seeds/siliquae (33.97), and test weight (3.83 g) whereas plants sown on 15th November with 30 cm row spacing recorded seed yield (15.38 q/ha), stover yield (57.42 q/ha), B:C ratio (2.01).
