Abstract:
The experiment was conducted during the period from October, 2016 to March, 2016 in the
experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka to
find out the morpho-physiology, yield and quality of mustard as influenced by different
sowing times and salicylic acid. The experiment comprised of two factors- Factor A:
Different sowing times

concentration 0.4 mM followed by 0.2 mM was more potential in regards to yield
contributing characters and yield of mustard.
