Cropping Seasons

Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern) cultivation is suggested for regions with short seasons and low rainfall. Although there have been many studies conducted on agronomic production of mustard in Iran, the information regarding the interactive impact of cropping seasons and nitrogen fertiliser on growth characteristics and yield quality of mustard plant is still insufficient and requires further investigation. This study focused on the possible implications of different cropping seasons and different nitrogen levels on selected agronomic traits in mustard. In this experiment, five different doses of nitrogen and two sowing periods were used to assess for their combined effects on the growth parameters, seed yield and agronomic characteristics of mustard in the semi-arid climatic conditions of Takestan. The results revealed that cultivation seasons and nitrogen rates had a significant effect on plant height, biomass yield, number of siliques per plant, seed oil content and seed yield.

The considerable amount of genetic variability on the basis of GCV and PCV estimates for the traits; days to 50% flowering, numbers of primary and secondary branches per plant, length of siliqua, 1000-seed weight, seed yield per plant, biological yield per plant and harvest index were found in thirty five genotypes of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern and Coss). Heritability and genetic advance were higher for days to 50% flowering, plant height and biological yield per plant. Although, number of secondary branches per plant, seed yield per plant and harvest index had moderately high heritability with moderate genetic advance indicating additive gene effects and selection pressure could be applied on them for yield improvement leads to fast genetic improvement of the materials. Days to 75% maturity, length of siliqua, 1000-seed weight and oil content had low heritability indicating that these traits were under the influence of environmental factors and selection on the basis of these traits could not be effective.

In the present study, line× tester analysis was carried out at Castor-Mustard Research Station, S. D. Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat, India during rabi 2018–19 (October 2018 to February 2019) in order to estimate all three types of heterosis (relative heterosis, heterobeltiosis and economic heterosis) for identification of superior cross combinations of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern&Coss]. Thirty-five hybrids along with five CMS lines, seven testers and check GDM 4 were evaluated for ten different traits. The F1 generation of all the crosses exhibited fertility restoration with pollen fertility except F1 crosses with Vardan, Rohini and SKM 319 fertile line (0%). The remaining crosses exhibited pollen fertility ranging from 68.26% (Kranti×SKM 303) to 85.17% (Kranti×Mori ‘R’ 1-18). The analysis of variance for parents, hybrids and parents vs. hybrids revealed that mean sum of squares of parents were highly significant for majority of the characters except days to maturity. Whereas, hybrids differed highly significant for all the characters. Comparison of mean squares due to parents vs. hybrids was found significant for almost all the characters except number of seeds siliqua-1 and oil content. This indicates that considerable amount of genetic variability present among the parents and hybrids for all the characters studied. On the basis of per se performance, three hybrids viz., Kranti×Mori ‘R’ 1-18, SKM 9928×PusaAgrani and SKM 9928×Mori ‘R’ 1-18 were foundpromising for seed yield plant-1 over the standard check GDM 4.With respect to heterosis, one of the hybrid Kranti×Mori ‘R’ 1-18 (17.85 %)manifested significant and positive standard heterosis for seed yield plant-1.

Germplasm Accessions

Principal component analysis was carried out with 20 morphological traits (including quantitative as well as qualitative) among 96 germplasm lines of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss.]. Principal factor analysis led to the identification of eight principal components (PCs) which explained about 70.41% variability. The first principal component (PC1) explained 16.21% of the total variation. The remaining PC’s explained progressively lesser and lesser of the total variation. Varimax Rotation enabled loading of similar type of variables on a common principal factor (PF) permitting to designate them as yield factor, maturity factor and oil factor etc. Based on PF scores and cluster mean values the germplasm accessions viz., RC2, RC32 and RC51 (cluster I), RC95 and RC96 (cluster X) were found superior for seed yield/plant and yield related factors like primary and secondary branches/plant; while the accessions RC34, RC185 and RC195 (cluster III) and RC53 (cluster VIII) were found superior for oil content. These accessions may further be utilized in breeding programmes for evolving mustard varieties having high seed yield and oil content. Hierarchical cluster analysis resulted into ten clusters containing two to 26 accessions. The results of cluster and principal factor analyses were in confirmation of each other.

Phenotypic Stability Analysis for Seed Yield and its Associated Traits In advanced lines of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern and Coss)” was carried out to study the effects of different environments on seed yield and its associated traits, to estimate the magnitude of Genotype x Environment interaction and to find out the most stable and high yielding genotype among the selected lines of Indian mustard under different environments of different topography, soil texture and prevailing climatic conditions of Manipur. Fifteen genotypes were evaluated in 3 different locations (Andro, Iroisemba and Senapati) in RBD with 3 replications over two seasons viz; Rabi 2018-19 and 2019-20. The environment wise ANOVA revealed highly significant differences among all the genotypes studied for all the 11 characters of seed yield and its associated traits. The pooled ANOVA also indicated significant differences among the environments, genotypes as well as genotype by environment (GXE) interaction for all the traits. Genotype X Location interaction was observed as the main component for GXE interaction. Genotypes performed better in 2019-20 rabi season as compared to rabi 2018-19. Environment (E-5) i.e. Iroisemba, valley area was the best for expression of most of the characters studied. Stability Analysis using Eberhart and Russell indicated the significance of GXE (linear) for no. of siliqua/plant, no. of seeds/siliqua, siliqua length, no. of primary branches, no. of secondary branches, days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, days to 80% maturity and 1000 seed weight except for plant height and seed yield per plot which shows the substantial amount of predictable G X E interaction for the expression of these characters in the selected genotypes. All the 15 genotypes were tested for 3 stability parameters, viz mean, bi and S2 di. The genotypes CAURMM-3, CAURMM-4, CAURM- 5, CAURM-4, PM- 25, CAURMM-1 and JM-1 were identified to be the high yielding and stable, hence they can be recommended for general cultivation under varied environments of Manipur. CAURM-1 CAURM-2, CAURM-3 had more stable characters although their yield was below the population mean, Therefore, proposed as promising genotypes for general cultivation under intensive input supply as they performed best in favourable environments, while NRCHB 101 found to be suitable for cultivation under poor environments.
