Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Agriculture Research farm, Rama University, Kanpur during rabi seasons of 2021-22 to study the Effect of Irrigation and Sowing time on Growth and Yield of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) in central plain zone of UP.The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and 12 treatments and 3 replication. The treatments considered The treatments consisted T₁ = Early sowing time + No nitrogen , T₂= Early sowing time + One irrigation(20 DAS), T₃ = Early sowing time + Two irrigation (20, 35 DAS), T₄ =Early sowing time + Three irrigation (20, 35, 50 DAS), T₅= Mid or Optimum sowing time + No irrigation T₆= Mid or Optimum sowing time+ One irrigation(20 DAS), T₇= Mid or Optimum sowing time + Two irrigation (20, 35 DAS), T₈ =Mid or Optimum sowing time + Three irrigation (20, 35, 50 DAS), T₉= Late sowing time + No irrigation, T₁₀ = Late sowing time + One irrigation(20 DAS), T₁₁ = Late sowing time +Two irrigation (20, 35 DAS) and T₁₂ = Late sowing time + Three irrigation (20, 35, 50 DAS). Among the treatments it was found that mid sowing time 15^th November , and Irrigation schedule 20, 35, 50 DAS have best result in terms of growth, development, yield and quality of mustard crop.
