Abstract: There has been a slow progress in production of oilseeds. The oil crops occupy an important place in the economy of Indian agriculture. They have seen grown traditionally to the lands of poor soil fertility and moisture stress without adequate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The production of rapeseed/mustard has been increasing at a rapid rate in several countries of the world. The global demand of edible oils and its products is increasing continuously. When compared to other edible oils, the rapeseed/mustard oil has the lowest amount of harmful saturated fatty acids. It also contains adequate amounts of the two essential fatty acids, linoleic and linolenic, which are not present in many of the other edible oils. The experiment was carried out to derived information on variation between the character in mustard during rabi 2015-16 at the field Experimentation Centre of the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Bundelkhand University, Jhansi U.P The experimental material was consisted of 35 diverse genotypes of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) considering each genotype to represent one treatment the experiment was laid randomized block design with three replications.
