Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2018-19 entitled “Studies on mustard (Brassica juncea L.) varieties under various crop growing environment in Eastern Plain Zone†at Agromet Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya (U.P.).The experiment was conducted in spilt plot design which consisted of nine treatment combinations comprised of three crop growing environments viz. Oct. 20th, Oct. 30th and Nov. 9th and three varieties viz. Varuna, NDR-8501 and Kranti. Results reveal thattaller plants (146.6 cm) were recorded in growing environment20th October. Shorter plants (116.8 cm) were recorded under 09th November. Among the varieties, taller plant height (143.8 cm) was recorded in Varuna. Significantly higher leaf area index at 60 DAS (4.67) was recorded in 20th October. Among the varieties, highest leaf area index (4.3) was recorded in Varuna variety. The maximum number of primary branches plant-1 was recorded on 20th October at 30, 60, 90 days and at harvest after sowing. Among the varieties, maximum number of primary branches plant-1 was recorded in Varuna variety. Significantly higher number of secondary branches plant-1 was recorded 20th October at 30, 60, 90 DAS and at harvest. Among the varieties, maximum number of secondary branches plant-1 was recorded with Varuna at 30, 60, 90 DAS and at harvest. The higher number of siliquae/plant, length of siliqua, Number of seeds/siliqua were recorded on 20th October date of sowing. Among the varieties, maximum numbers of siliquae/plant, length of siliqua, number of seeds/siliqua were recorded in Varuna variety of mustard. Maximum Seed yield (20.9 q/ha), Stover yield (74.3 q/ha), Biological yield (95.28 q/ha) were recorded on 20th October crop growing environment. Among the varieties, maximum Seed yield (20.2 q/ha), Stover yield (70.3 q/ha), Biological yield (90.6 q/ha) were recorded with Varuna.
