Abstract
An agronomic investigation to study the response of various mustard varieties to
different irrigation scheduling treatments through critical growth stage approach was
conducted during Rabi season of year 2019-20 at IFS research Unit farm in Banda
University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda (U.P.- 210 001). The experiment was
laid out in strip plot design with three replications. Four irrigation scheduling treatments
[viz. I0: No Irrigation, I1: One Irrigation at Rosette stage, I2: One Irrigation at Pod
formation and I3: Two Irrigations (1st at Rosette + 2nd at Pod Formation)] were allocated to
horizontal plots; whereas two mustard varieties (viz. NRCHB-101 and PM-28) were sown
in vertical plots. Higher growth attributing characters at different crop stages and yield
attributing characters at harvest viz. final plant stand, plant height, number of primary &
secondary branches, leaf area index, plant dry matter, crop growth rate, relative growth
rate, net assimilation rate, number of pods per plant, pod length, number of grains per pod
and test weight were produced in mustard variety NRCHB-101 with irrigating the crop for
two times during rosette and pod formation stage. Similarly, higher grain & straw yield
along with highest harvest index & B: C ratio and water use efficiency was recorded in
variety NRCHB-101 with two irrigations as compared to all the other treatments. All these
plant growth and yield attributing characters and yield along with net monetary income &
B: C ratio and lowest water use efficiency was observed in variety PM-28 under the
condition of no irrigation applied.
