Evaluation of Yield Performance of Three Important Mustard Varieties Released by Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture

Abstract

An experiment was conducted during 01 November, 2022 to 31 March, 2023 at Bangabandhu Academy for Poverty Alleviation and Rural Development (BAPARD) agricultural farm to study the yield performance of Binasarisha-4, Binasarisha-7 and Binasarisha-9 at BAPARD Agricultural Farm. Binasarisha-7 gave the maximum plant height (138.86cm) during harvesting stage other than two varieties Binasarisha-4 (108.67cm) and Binasarisha-9 (137.57cm). Binasarisha-7 also performed the highest siliqua per plant (110.86) other than two varieties Binasarisha-4 (87.57) and Binasarisha-9 (89.64). Binasarisha-4 preformed more branches per plant (4.94), maximum length of siliqua (6.53cm) and highest number of seeds per siliqua (30.63) other than Binasarisha-7 and Binasarisha-9. But thousand seed weight was maximum in Binasarisha-7. After all, the highest yield was given by Binasarisha-7 (2.28 t/ha) and the lowest yield was given by Binasarisha-9 (1.92 t/ha). It can be concluded as Binasarisha-7 was the best among the three mustard varieties and it can be extended to the local farmer of this region in Gopalganj district.
