Abstract
Mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Cosern & Coss.] is one of the oilseed crops of India. It is an irrigated crop in Guajrat. Since water requirement of mustard is low, whereas out of all the essential nutrients nitrogen is one of express importance. With a view to have in sight on the optimum irrigation intervals: coupled with nitrogen and phosphorus levels, for mustard variety ‘Varuna’, the present study was conducted. A field experiment was laidout at B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand during rabi season 1978-79. The treatments included in this study consisted of three levels of irrigation viz., irrigation at an interval of 15 days (I1), 25 days (I2) and 35 days (I3); and for fertilizer treatments, three levels of nitrogen (0, 50 and 75 kg N per hectare) and two levels of phosphorus (0 and 50 kg P2O5 per hectare).
