Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2019, at Crop Research Farm of Department of Agronomy at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj with the objective to study the effect of sowing dates on growth and yield attributes of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) varieties under late sown conditions. Experiment comprises of 9 treatments replicated thrice. With 3 different dates of sowing 5th December, 10th December, and 15th December; 3 varieties i.e., Varuna, Mahyco Bold, Pioneer. Maximum plant height (185.23 cm), No. of branches (9.41), No. of siliqua per plant (241.3), was recorded with the treatment no.1 Varuna + 5th December sowing. Highest no. of seeds per siliqua (15.5) was recorded with treatment no.1 Varuna + 5th December sowing, and maximum test weight was recorded with treatment no. 5 Mahyco bold+ 10th December.
