Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2014-15 at Agricultural Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh (India) to study the effect of tillage and irrigation frequency on growth of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj and Cosson].The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. The main plot treatment consisted three tillage practices viz. Zero tillage, Reduced tillage (2 harrowing + 1 planking), and Conventional tillage (1 deep ploughing with disc + 2 harrowing + 1 planking), whereas four levels of irrigations i.e.No irrigation, One irrigation (35 DAS), Two irrigations (35 DAS + 60 DAS), Three irrigations (35 DAS + 60 DAS + 90 DAS) were allocated to sub-plots. Plant height, functional leaves plant-1, leaf area index, dry matter accumulation and primary and secondary branches plant-1 increased with increasing tillage intensity and irrigation frequency. The value of all these growth parameters improved significantly under conventional tillage. Significantly higher values of growth attributing character were obtained with three irrigations as compared to other irrigation frequency
