in order to induce of genetic variation and selection of genotypes with desirable traits, seeds of three varieties of rapeseed sarigol (pf), rgs003 and zarfam were treated with different doses of gamma ray 500, 700 and 900 gy. to confirm the stability of the induced genetic traits, 66 mutant lines from m4 generation were studied in a randomized complete block design with three replications. twe...

Accumulation of dry matter in siliqua, number of siliqua per plant, length of siliqua and seeds per siliqua of rapeseed (Brassica campestris L.) plants were studied under three irrigation levels (no irrigation, one irrigation at 30 DAS and two irrigations at 30 and 60 DAS) and three row spacing (20 cm, 30 cm and 40 cm). Th e experiment was carried out at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (S...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is one of the important sources of vegetable oils and protein-rich meals. Canola ranks third in global production of oilseed crops and fifth among economically important crop next to wheat, rice, maize, and cotton. The present work was undertaken with the aim to investigate the effect of Ethylmethyl sulphonate (EMS) on the yield contributing characters of brassica nap...

Five reproductive efficiency methods (REM) were evaluated under field condition to measure yield in 12 varieties of Brassica campestris L. in 2005 and 2006 at Mymensingh (2475′ N latitude and 9050′ E longitude) based on flower and siliqua production and total reproductive unit (TRUnumber of buds, flowers, siliqua and number of empty pedicels). Five REMs were estimated and they were REM-I [ (Mat...

The study was conducted with the objective to know the performance of floral and yield characteristics of pollen and CMS parent. Significant variation was observed for flowering and yield contributing characteristics among two CMS lines (Z1 and Z2) and 21 pollen parents. The pollen parent Nap2019 was found as early flowering whereas the parent Nap2013 was the late for first flowering. The highe...

The experiment was conducted to study the variability among seven parental genotypes and their twenty one F progenies of Brassica rapa at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka-1207, Bangladesh. 2 Results showed that seed yield plant had significant positive association with number of primary branches 1 plant , number of secondary branches plant , number of siliquae plant . Path co-effici...

The experiment was carried out at Agronomy Field laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Agricultural Extension, university of Rajshahi, to study the effect of irrigation and sowing method on yield and yield attributes of mustard. The experiment consists of two factors i) irrigation viz. no irrigation (I0), one irrigation (I1)and two irrigations (I2) ii) sowing method viz. line sowing method (M1...
