Abstract
The experiment was
conducted during the period from October, 2016 to March, 2017 in the
experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla
Nagar, Dhaka to find out the morphological characters and yield of mustard as
influenced by different sowing. The experiment comprised of different sowing
times (4) as a treatment, such as S1: 25 October 2016; S2:
05 November 2016; S3: 15 November 2016 and S4: 25
November 2016. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design
(RCBD) with three replications. Data on different morphological change and seed
yield of mustard were recorded and statistically significant variation was
observed for different treatment. For different sowing dates, the maximum number of seeds siliqua-1, length
of siliqua, seed and stover yield (24.23, 4.77 cm, 2.18 and 3.38 t ha-1
respectively) was recorded from S1 while the minimum number of seeds
siliqua-1, length of siliqua, seed and stover yield (20.27, 3.87 cm,
1.43 and 2.50 t ha-1 respectively) was found from S4
treatment. Sowing
on 25 October 2016 during the study period was more potential in regards to
yield contributing characters and yield of mustard.
Key
words: Mustard, morphological characters, yield, and
influence.
