The experiment was laidout in Split Plot Design with 16 treatment combinations comprised of four row spacing and four weed controls treatments with three replication viz.main plot (Row Spacing) S₁ - 60 cm, S₂ - Row 40 cm, S₃ - 30 cm, S₄ - 25 cm and Sub plot (weed control) W₁ - Weedy check, W₂ - Isoproturon @ 1 kg a.i. ha^-1 (PE), W₃ - Isoproturon @ 1 kg a.i ha^-1 (PE) - Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl@0.75kg a.i ha^-1 at 25 to 30 DAS (PoE) and W₄ - Weed Free. Musturd Cg sarson was sown on 10^th November, 2020 at using 5 kg seed ha^-1 with recommended dose of fertilizer viz. 100, 60 and 40 kg N, P₂O₅ & K₂O ha^-1 respectively.
