| dc.description | The term “mustard” is used to describe several plants in the Brassica and Sinapis
genera which are used as sources of food. There are different types of mustard
which are cultivated for different products including grains and leaves. The
incredible diversity and flexibility of mustard plants can cause them to pop up in a
wide variety of places, from traditional American Southern cuisine to fiery Indian
curries. B. nigra produces black seeds with a very strong and distinctive flavor.
Black mustard is often used in Indian and Southeast Asian cooking; where it is
incredibly popular. As a condiment, mustard is incredibly diverse. Mustard can be
ground into a smooth pure or mixed with whole seeds for more texture. It can also
be blended with things like horseradish for spicy mustard, which can be quite fiery,
or sugar, for sweet mustard. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The experiment was conducted at research field and laboratory in the Department of
Crop Physiology and Ecology, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology
University, Dinajpur, during the period of November 2012 to April 2013. The
experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replications. The experiment
comprised of two sets of factors such as A: Three varieties such as, V; = BARI Sharisa
9, V2 = BARI Sharisa 11 and V3 =BARI Sharisa 15; B: three irrigation levels like, Ip=no
irrigation, I;=one irrigation at 25 DAS, I,=two irrigation at 25 and 50 DAS. In the
present study, irrigation was applied as main plot treatment and varieties for sub-plot
treatment. BARI Sharisa 11 (V2) took the longest days to attain all the phenological
stages while BARI Sharisa 9 (V)) took the lowest days. Growth parameter like LA and
TDM also highest in V2 and the reverse results were obtained in case of BARI Sharisa 9
(V,). Application of I; irrigation took the highest days to attain their phenological stages
and produced maximum LA and TDM at all growth stages and Io gave the reverse
results. All the yield parameters like number of siliqua plant’, 1000-seed weigth, seed
yield, stover yield and HI except number of seed siliqua’' produced the highest value
with BARI Sharisa 11 on the other hand, variety V; produced reverse results of V3. In
case of irrigation level, I; plant produced highest value of the yield components, seed
yield and HI and the Ip produced reverse results of V; for all above cases. The interaction
of BARI Sharisa 11 with I, irrigation level produced the highest value of all the yield
components, yield and HI excluding number of seeds per siliqua. Finally, from the
overall results, it might be concluded that the combination of BARI Sharisa 11 with the
application of two irrigations (Iz) is the best treatment for better growth, development,
yield and yield components of mustard. | en_US |
