Abstract
A field study was conducted at the Hill Agricultural Research Station, Khagrachari during the rabi season of 2009 - 2010 to evaluate the effect of date of sowing on the yield and yield attributes of mustard. The variety BARI sharisa-11 was tested with four sowing dates viz. 15 November, 25 November, 5 December and 15 December. The sowing dates significantly affected the growth, development and yield of mustard. Sowing mustard on 15 November produced the maximum plant height (162 cm), number of primary branches plant-1; days to first flowering (35 days), 50% flowering (40 days) and maturity (95 day); number of siliqua (253.9) and seeds siliqua-1 (13.40), 1000 –seed weight (3.87 g) and seed yield (2.75 t ha-1).
