Abstract

Investigations carried out for two years (89-90 and 90-91) at ARS, Sumerpur (Rajasthan Agricultural University) in sandy loam soil reveal that increasing levels of nitrogen upto 90 kg/ha significantly increased yield attributes, chlorophyll content of leaves, seed yield and oil content of mustard during both the years. Three imigations to this crop at vegetative, flowering and seed development stages were found appropriate when judged in terms of yield, yield attributes and chlorophyll content. Oil content of seed was also improved significantly due to two (at veg. + flowering stage) and three irrigations compared to one (at vegetative stage).
