A field study was conducted at Norman E. Borlaug Crop Research Centre of GB Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar to assess the system of root intensification under transplanting system in Brassica spe- cies during winter (rabi) season of 201415. The experiment was designed in split plot arrangement taking method of planting in main-plots and Brassica species in sub-plots with 3 replications. The growth and yield pa- rameters of Brassica species were affected significantly by methods of planting. The highest seed yield was re- corded with transplanting at 60 cm 60 cm spacing. The highest seed and stover yields were obtained in RP 09 (Brassica carinata) transplanted at 60 cm 60 cm spacing. These findings suggest that growing rapeseed-mus- tard crop through transplanting holds a great promise under tarai conditions of Uttarakhand.References
