Abstract


The effect of three land treatments (Flatbed, Ridge and furrow and Broad bed and furrow) and four dates of sowing (September 15, October 1, October 15 and November 1) were studied during rabi season of 1999-2000 at S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati (a non traditional area for mustard) Andhra Pradesh. Among the land treatments, broad bed and furrow method gave significantly highest growth parameters, yield attributes, seed yield, oil yield and net returns compared to flat bed method. Highest seed yield of 2.02 q ha¹ was obtained with October 1st sowing and decreased gradually thereafter.
