Abstract:

One hundred (100) advanced genotypes of Indian mustard with four checks were evaluated in an augmented block design for 13 morphological characters under two environments, irrigated (E1) and rainfed (E2) during rabi 2016-17. Significant differences were observed among the genotypes for all the characters studied under both the conditions. Seed yield plant-1 exhibited positive significant correlation with primary branches plant-1, secondary branches plant-1, fruiting zone length, main shoot length, siliqua on main shoot, siliqua plant-1 and biological yield under irrigated conditions while as seed yield plant-1 revealed significant positive correlation with all the characters studied under rainfed conditions, except for siliqua length and oil content. The genotypes BPR-1566-7-101, BPR-1741-97-2, DFS-21-115, BPR-1723-58-60, BPR-1566-4-63, BPR-1741-44-2, DHS-18-104, DHS-14-103, YHS-44-121, BPR-1721-28-23 and BPR-1686-39-83 had lower drought susceptibility index (DSI) values thus can be rated as drought tolerant. The overall values of DSI ranged from -1.056 (BPR-1566-7-101) to 2.140 (BPR-1741-9-2).
