Abstract:
The experiment was carried out at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Farm,
Dhaka-1207, Bangladesh during Rabi season, November 2017 to February 2018
to find out the effect of different sowing methods and varieties on the yield of
(Brassica campestris). The experiment comprised of two factors - the treatment
consisted of four sowing methods viz. S
0
= Broadcast method, S
= Line to line
space 20 cm, S
2
= Line to line space 25 cm and S
= Line to line space 30 cm and
three different varieties viz. V
1
= BARI Sarisha 14, V

1
= BARI Sarisha 15 and V
= BARI Sarisha 17. The experiment was laid out in two factors Randomized
Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The collected data were
statistically analyzed and a significant variation among the treatments was found
in respect of majority of the observed parameters. The highest plant population
was recorded from Broadcast method of sowing. The tallest plant was recorded
from the plot of broadcast method. The maximum branches plant
, dry matter
weight plant
-1
, siliqua plant
-1
and seed silliqua
-1
were recorded from the treatment
line to line space 30 cm. The maximum thousand seed weight (2.97 g) was
recorded from the broadcast method
.
The maximum yield of seed ha
(1.11 t) was
obtained from broadcast method. The highest plant population (77.25) was
observed in case of BARI Sarisha 14. The tallest plant of mustard was found in
case of with BARI Sarisha 15. The maximum branches plant
-1
, dry matter weight
plant
-1
, siliqua plant
-1
, seed silliqua
-1
, and length of silliqua were obtained from
BARI Sarisha 15. The highest yield of seed (0.95 t/ha) was obtained from BARI
Sarisha 15. The combinations of different sowing methods and different varieties
had significant effect on almost all the parameters. The highest biological yield
per hectare (5.08 tones) was obtained from broadcast method with BARI Sarisha
15 treatment combination.
