Performance of Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) Hybrids at Varying Crop Geometries in Low Hills of Himachal Pradesh
Keywords:
Crop Geometry, Mustard Hybrids, Productivity.Abstract
Three mustard (Brassica junceaL.) hybridsviz., DMH 1, NRCHB 506 and PAC 432 were evaluated in comparison to Kranti grown at five planting geometries (30×10 cm, 30×15 cm, 60×10 cm, 45×10 cm, 45×15cm) duringrabi2010 11at CSKHPKV Hill Agriculture Research & Extension Centre, Dhaulakuan. Number of branches/plant were significantly more in PAC 432 (20.1) which were similar to DMH 1 (19.6).Plants were significantly taller at 30×10 cm (212.4 cm) whereas number of branches per plant was more at wider row spacing (45×15 cm and 60×10 cm). Hybrids DMH 1 and PAC 432 took 128 days to mature followed by NRCHB 506 (120 days) and Kranti (119 days). It was concluded that hybrid DMH 1 was highest yielder (14.65 q/ha) due to higher harvest index and more branching and should be grown at 30 cm×10Â15 cm spacing or even at 45×10 cm geometry.Downloads
