EFFECT OF LOW MONETARY AGRO TECHNIQUES ON SUSTAINED PRODUCTIVITY OF MUSTARD (BRASS1CA JUNCEA)

摘要

A field experiment was conducted during rabi seasons of 1996-97 and 1997-98 to study the effect of thinning, detopping, sowing direction, use of gypsum removal of 4th row and 4th plant (for fodder) and limited use of water. The recommended practices +thinning at 15 and 25 DAS + detopping at bud initiation stage produced seed yield at par with recommended practices + thinning at 15 and 25 DAS and recommended practices + thinning at 15 and 25 DAS + N-S sowing, but recorded 12.6% higher seed yield overlocal practices. The oil content did not show any significant variation among different agro techniques.
