Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2016-17 at N.E. Borlaug Crop Research Centre of G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar (290 N, 79029 E and at an altitude of 243.83 m) to study the effect of planting time and geometry on the growth, yield attributes, yield quality, and the economics of Indian mustard RH 749. The experiment consisting of 15 treatments, having three levels of planting date (14 Oct, 24 Oct and 03 Nov) in main plots and five planting geometries (30×10, 30×20, 30×30, 45×15 and 45×30 cm) in sub plot were studied in split plot design (SPD) with three replication. The growth parameters viz. plant population, plant height, dry matter accumulation, 50 per cent flowering and maturity ultimately yield influenced significantly by planting time and geometries. The crop sown on 14th October performed significantly better as compared to 24th October and 3rd November. Crop geometry of 30×10 cm recorded significantly higher seed yield (1925kg/ha) with better utilization of space, nutrients, water and sunshine resulting in higher dry matter translocation to yield components as compared to 30×20, 30×30, 45×15, 45×30 crop geometry.
