Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: A 2-year field experiment conducted to study the effect of sowing date and irrigation on seed yield and quality of Indian mustard [Brassicajuncea (L.) Czernj. & Cosson] indicated that early sowing (17 and 27 October) gave significantly higher seed, oil and protein yield and N uptake by seed compared with late sowing (6 November), Seed, oil and protein yield, N content and N uptake were significantly higher under 2 irrigation scheduled at pre-flowering and siliqua-development stages than no irrigation. However, oil content was more in unirrigated, while reverse was true for protein content.
