Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2018-19 to access the “Effect of different growing environment on growth and yield of mustard cultivars (Brassica juncea L.)†in silty loam soil at Agro-meteorological Research Farm of N.D. University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya. The experiment was conducted with RBD (Factorial) and replicated four times with nine treatment combinations consisted of three growing environment viz. 20th October, 30th October and 09th November and three cultivars viz. Varuna, Narendra rai-1 (NDR-8501) and Kranti. Results revealed that 20th October sown mustard crop produced significantly higher growth and yield due to fulfilment of optimum heat unit requirement and solar light interception for various processes of plant. Among the different cultivars of mustard, Varuna was more conducive for growth, development, grain yield and heat use efficiency as compared to Narendra rai-1 (NDR-8501) and Kranti. Higher seed yield (18.90 q/ha) was recorded under 20th October sowing as compared to 30th October sown mustard crop and 09th November. Among the different cultivars, maximum yield of Varuna was 18.90 q/ha and performed 10.20% and 26.58% higher yield than Narendra rai-1 (NDR-8501) and Kranti respectively.
