Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) season of 2015-16 to Study on the nitrogen levels and varieties on yield contributing characters, quality and Economics of mustard (Brassica juncea Curzen and Cross.) varieties under late sown condition at Main Agronomy Research Station, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Faizabad (Uttar Pradesh). Testing the experiment near alkaline in pH, low EC, Organic carbon and available N, medium in available P and medium available K. The experiment was laid out in Factorial randomized block design with five Nitrogen levels viz. 0, 40, 60,120 and 160 kg ha-1 and three varieties Vardan, NDRI-8501 and Maya with three replication. The plants without treatments were served as control. Seed yield and its components were significantly increased in all the treatments over control. The maximum grain yield was noted with 120 kg Nitrogen and variety NDRI-8501. An increase in the grain yield at the abovementioned treatments was may be due to the increase of number of siliqua, length of siliqua, number of seed siliqua-1, test weight. Under different treatment combinations (interactions) the maximum net return of Rs. 54807 ha-1 and B:C ratio (2.67) was obtained from 120 kg ha-1 and NDRI-8501 combination.
