Temperature-Based Agrometeorological Indices for Indian Mustard (Brassica spp. L.) under Different Growing Environments in Prayagraj Condition

ASSESSING APHID INFESTATION IN INDIAN MUSTARD (Brassica juncea L.) UNDER PRESENT AND FUTURE CLIMATE SCENARIOS

Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) production in India suffers from aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach), infestation considerably. Role of weather on the incidence and development of mustard aphids was assessed from experimental data from six north Indian locations. Aphid appearance and population build up was found to be regulated by temperature and time to attain peak population was relatively sho...

Growth response modulation by putrescine in Indian mustard Brassica juncea L. under multiple stress.

Plants, in general, are put to various kinds of stress, biotic and abiotic, both natural and manmade. Infestation by insect pests and diseases, and extreme conditions such as salinity, temperature, etc., as well as heavy metal contamination affect their growth performance. Here, we studied the impact of salinity and heavy metal pollution on the growth performance of Indian Mustard Brassica junc...

COMPARISON OF HALF-SIB AND FULL-SIB PROGENY SELECTION METHODS IN INDIAN MUSTARD (Brassica juncea L.) UNDER RAINFED CONDITIONS

An experiment was carried out to compare half-sib and full-sib progeny selection methods in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) under rainfed conditions from 2006-07 to 2009-10 for 14 morpho-physiological characters. Full-sib and half-sib progenies were developed from different populations. The values of genetic parameters were higher in full-sibs compared to half-sibs for a greater number of t...

Assessment of genetic variation within Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) germplasm using RAPD markers

combining ability and heterosis for seed yield and its components in indian mustard (brassica juncea l.)

brassica juncea l. is an important oilseed crop which occupies premier position in indian agriculture. developing high yielding genotypes has been a major breeding objective in indian mustard. present study was conducted at directorate of rapeseed-mustard research, india, during 2010-2013 to determine general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) of parental lines and bet...
