Effect of sowing method and time of first irrigation on growth and yield of Brassica campestris sub sp. oleifera var. toria

摘要

Toria is grown as ziad rabi crop followed by late sown wheat or spring sunflower under irrigated conditions in Punjab Water stress at early stage in toria crop restricts the build-up of infrastructure framework, however, at the later stage adversely affects seed filling rate and sink capacity (Mahal, 1990). Since irrigation water is one of the costlier inputs, its economic and efficient utilization becomes quite imperative, Besides, method of sowing play an important role not only in optimizing productionlunit area but also facilitates the interculture operations, light penetration and better root growth which helps in efficient use of applied water. Keeping in view the above facts, a study was undertaken to get precise information on these aspects.
