Growth and productivity of toria (Brassica rapa var dichotoma) as influenced by sowing time row spacing and nitrogen levels

Abstract

Maximum plant height (108.76 cm) and dry matter accumulation (20.66 glplant), test weight, seed and stover yield was recorded with sowing on first week of September which was at par with second week of September sown. The corresponding increase in seed and stover yield over fourth week of September sown crop by 20.31 and 14.67 %. Maximum plant height, seed and stover yield was observed under 30 crn row spacing which was 8.57, 25.64 and 27.24 higher over 45 cm row spacing. Significant response tu nitrogen application in plant height, dry matter accumulation. test- weight. seed and stover yield at 60 kg N/ha and recorded 13.01. 55.44. 8.18, 29.22 and 32.45 Q higher over control respectively.
