    EFFECT OF IRRIGATION INTERVALS AND VARIOUS LEVELS OF NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS ON YIELD AND QUALITY OF MUSTARD [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss.] VARIETY VARUNA
    (AAU, Anand, 1979) CHANIARA, NARANDAS J.; DAMOR, U. M.
    Mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Cosern & Coss.] is one of the oilseed crops of India. It is an irrigated crop in Guajrat.
