Abstract

The experiment was carried out on a multilocational testing (MLT) site, Hobiganj district to find out suitable sowing dates of rapeseed mustard (Brassica campestris and Brassica napus). The mustard var. BARI Sarisha-18 was cultivated during rabi season of two consecutive years 2022-23 and 2023-24 in randomized complete block (RCB) design with 3 replications. The treatments were five sowing dates viz. 15 November, 30 November, 15 December, 30 December and 15 January. The 30th November sowing performed best with seed yield of 2.73 t ha-1 by producing 85.71% higher seed yield than 15th January with seed yield of 1.47 t ha-1. It was noticed that the sowing time of mustard should be adjusted considering weather change.
