Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Five varieties and one advanced mutant line of mustard were put into trials for three consecutive years from 1991-92 to 1993-94 cropping seasons to evaluate the performances of these varieties in late sowing conditions in coastal area. The results showed significant differences in seed yield of the varieties under study. On an average, Safal gave the highest seed yield of 1.76 tons while Sonali and BINA-2 produced 1.57 and 1 .55 tons seed/ha. Seed yield of Agrani and Sampad was 1.48 and 1.29 tons, respectively. Tori-7 produced 0.81 tons of seed which was the lowest of all the varieties and mutant line. Growing of these varieties in that area was found to be economically promising. The mean over years showed that the highest net return of Tk. 13,310/- was obtained from seeds and sticks of Safal while Tk. 11,429/- and Tk.11,190/- were realized from Sonali and BINA-2, respectively. Agrani, Sampad and Tori-7 gave Tk. 10,341/-, Tk. 8,325/- and Tk. 1,7311-, respectively.

Keywords: Varieties, Mustard, Coastal area

Location: The Patuakhali Agricultural College farm

Start Date: 00-00-1991

End Date: 00-00-1994

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mustard

Objectives:

To evaluate the performances of the existing varieties and an advanced mutant line in late sowing condition under coastal environments. The existing cropping pattern of that area was kept fixed.

Methodology:

The material consisted of five varieties and an advanced mutant line, viz., Tori-7, Sonali, Sampad, Safal and Agrani and a mutant line BINA-2. The experiments were conducted in three consecutive years, i.e., 1991-92, 1992-93 and 1993-94 cropping seasons at the Patuakhali Agricultural College farm under rainfed condition. The materials were laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Unit plot size was 3 x 3m and spacing was 30 cm between rows and 5-7 cm between plants. Fertilizers were applied @ 120 N, 85P₂O₅, 40K₂0 and 50 kg S/ha in the form of urea, TSP, MP and gypsum. The whole quantity of TSP, MP, gypsum and half of urea were applied during land preparation and the remaining half of urea was top dressed 5 weeks after sowing. Weeding was done twice before flowering. One irrigation was given before the initiation of flowering. Data on plant height, number of pods/plant and 1000-seed weight were taken from ten random plants of each plot. The seed and stick yield of plots have been converted into per hectare yield (kg).
