 Abstract 

A field trial was conducted after harvest of T.aman rice at the BARI Technology Village of Khagrachari, ARS, Ramgorh and at the farmers field of Dighinala of Khagrachari during the period from November 2007 to February 2008 to evaluate the performance of mustard varieties in the hill valley areas. Five varieties of mustard (Improved Tori-7, BARI Sarisha-6, BARI Sarasha-9, BARI Sarisha-11 and local) were tested. Among the varieties BARI Sarisha-11 showed maximum plant height and took maximum days for maturity. The same variety also gave the highest number of siliqua plant-1, higher seed size and the highest yield. So, it may be concluded that BARI Sarisha-11 may be recommended for cultivation in the hill valley areas of Bangladesh.
