An experiment was conducted during the winter season of 1994 95 and 1995 96 to study the response of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Zernj. Cosson] to irrigation and nitrogen levels. Pusa Bold recorded 15.6 and 14.5% higher seed and oil yields than Varuna . Irrigation scheduling at an 0.8 IW:CPE ratio significantly increased the seed and oil yields ever 0.4 and 0.6 IW : CPE. Response to nitrogen was positive up to 120 kglha. The yield attributes, siliquael plant, seedslsiliqua and 1,000 seed weight, were enhanced by increasing irrigation and nitrogen levels.References
