Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Effects of date of sowing and panting geometry on yield attributes and yield of mustard crop” was conducted at Instructional Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during rabi season of 2016-2017 and 2017-18. The experiment constituted of nine treatment combinations was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD). Narendra Rye-8501 variety was used. Yield atrributes namely Number of siliquae per plant, Length of siliqua (cm), Number of seeds per siliqua, Test weight (g), Seed yield (kg ha-1), Straw yield (kg ha-1), Biological yield (kg ha-1) and Harvest index (%) were recorded or observed during the whole experiments. Yields and yield attributes was affected by planting geometry. Maximum number of siliquae plant-1 (276.50 in 2016-17 and 282.13 in 2017-18), Maximum length of siliquae (7.83 cm. in 2016-17 and 8.10 cm. in 2017-18), Maximum number of number of seeds siliquae-11 (14.33 in 2016-17 and 14.63 in 2017-18), Higher test weight (4.96 g. in 2016-17 and 4.99 g in 2017-18), Higher Seed yield (kg ha-1) (20.85 in 2016-17 and 23.33 in 2017-18), Higher Straw yield (kg ha-1) (72.92 in 2016-17 and 81.72 in 2017-18), Higher biological yield (93.77 during 2016-17 and 105.05 during 2017-18) and Maximum harvest index (%) (22.56 in 2016-17 and 22.55 in 2017-18) was obtained when crop was sown on 45×15cm planting geometry followed by45×20cm, 45×10cm and 45×25cm planting geometry during the both years. Yield and yields attributes was affected by Date of sowing. Maximum numbers of siliquae Plant-1 (259.75 during 2016-17 and 265.00 during 2017-18), Maximum length of siliqua (7.70 cm.), Maximum numbers of seeds siliqua-1 (14.23), Maximum test weight (4.93 g in 2016-17 and 4.96 g in 2017-18), Seed yield (kg ha-1) was (21.33 in 2016-17 and 22.20 in 2017-18), Maximum Straw yield (kg ha-1) (73.35 during 2016-17 and 76.36 during 2017-18), Maximum Biological yield (94.68 during 2016- 17 and 98.56 during 2017-18) and Maximum Harvest index(%) (22.54 in both years) was recorded with 20 Oct followed by 5 Nov and then 5 Oct date of sowing during both the years.
