Abstract: A field trial was conducted in Rabi season 20016-17 at research form of SGRR, Dehradun to study nitrogen rates on growth, yield and quality of Indian mustard. The experimental results revealed that application of 100 kg N/ha recorded significantly maximum growth attributes viz., plant height (cm), number of total branches/plant, dry weight at harvest stage, yield attributes (no of siliquae per plant, length of siliquae per plant, number of seed per siliquae, seed weight per siliquae, 1000 seed weight, seed weight per plant) and yield and harvest index, besides achieved better quality. Thus, the nitrogen @ 100 kg/ha has appeared to be more promising to boost the productivity of B. juncea on one hand and to improve its quality on the other.
