Abstract

Extensive crop breeding efforts were made to develop high yielding, high oil content and bold seeded varieties for mustard growing area of Gujarat. As a result, the genotype SKM 301 (GDM 4) was identified and evaluated for its yield potentiality along with state and national check varieties (Varuna, GM 3 and Kranti) at various locations of Gujarat as state trial and different locations of Zone IV under AICRP on Rapeseed-Mustard trials. As compared to check varieties, the entry SKM 301 recorded higher mean seed yield 2417 kg/ha and high oil content (39.02%) and 1000-seed weight (5.70 g). Tolerant to lodging and shattering are additional features of this entry, SKM 301.
